Role: Mechanical Engineer 4
Duration: 12 months Contract with possible extension
Location: Mossville, IL - Onsite Role
Job Description :
Virtual simulation of thermal design for motors including verification of test results from hardware to analysis. The candidate will have a strong background in physics to understand the calculations going into the analysis and relate to physical hardware.
Why this Role?
• Electrification is a growing interest in the off-highway market. Client is working toward solutions and this motor group is at the front of the design activity for those solutions.
Typical task breakdown:
• Physics based thermal design utilizing software and or Excel.
• Converting Internally Developed Excel tools to WEB-Format Using EASA.
• Inheriting the current data analysis process of converting machine population data to thermal predictions for life calculations.
• Working with the internal data analysis tool team to create tools/user groups that has motor specific user functions such as predicting SS temperature.
• Work on developing Matlab or Visual Basic tools for PM and Induction motor thermal analysis.
Interaction with team:
• Work with Simulation Team / Experts on a regular basis to develop and validate analysis programs.
• Work with test engineers to process lab data and compare with analytical predictions.
