Are you a mechanical design engineer who wants to make a difference in the world of sustainable electric motor technologies?

Do you have the skills and experience to design, develop, and analyse powertrains and transmissions incorporating innovative electric motors that use no rare earth materials and achieve world-class performance and efficiency?

If so, you might be the perfect fit for our Advanced Product Development team at Advanced Electric Machines.

About Advanced Electric Machines

Advanced Electric Machines is a Northeast based company in the UK that produces cutting-edge electric motor and powertrain technologies for customers worldwide. We are proud of our award-winning products that set new standards in sustainability and power density, and we are always looking for new ways to improve and innovate. Our technology is changing the perception of electrification, and when applied, it leaves more rare earth & copper in the ground...where it belongs! We are an ambitious organisation, where the atmosphere is dynamic and ever changing.

What you’ll do:

1. In collaboration with the wider Advanced Product Development team, you will work on the design of new or evolutionary motor and drivetrain products throughout all stages of product development up to SOP.
2. Using standard CAD software, you will design and produce drawings of parts, components and assemblies, ensuring DFM, completing core activities such as structural and tolerance stack analysis.
3. Ensure compliance with design practices / guidelines and other limiting factors such as electrical creepage and clearance and tooling requirements.
4. Develop and own the product configuration management process and tools to ensure that CAD models are correctly structured, the product BoM is correctly captured and reflected in the MRP system, being adaptable for efficient SKU management.
5. Adapt product configurations for low-volume “special-builds” and work with the operations teams to ensure that relevant work orders and concessions are in place to reflect any deviations.
6. Work on all aspects of the activities of the wider engineering teams as required.

We’d love you to have:

1. A self-starting mindset capable of working independently in a cross-functional team, have strong analytical skills, a good knowledge of mechanical design and analysis, experience with industry-standard CAD software packages, and the ability to collaborate with other engineering teams.
2. BEng degree or equivalent in mechanical engineering, or other relevant discipline, or a demonstrable level of industrial experience in a relevant industry.
3. A proven capability to lead project work, and coach more junior engineers.
4. Previous experience in the design of transmissions, rotating machinery or electric motors is highly desirable.

In return you’ll get:

1. An opportunity to work for a company producing cutting-edge electric motor and powertrain technologies for customers worldwide.
2. The chance to join a growing business where your achievement will be valued, visible and recognised.
3. The opportunity to work across the business, using your learned knowledge and skills while exploring and developing on your ideas.

Great colleague benefits:

1. Private healthcare insurance
2. Critical Illness Cover
3. Death in Service Cover
4. Competitive Pay rates
5. Company and employee contribution pension scheme
6. Electric Vehicle salary sacrifice scheme including onsite electric charge points
7. Enhanced Maternity, Paternity & Shared Parental Leave
8. 25 days holiday per year, increasing after 2 and 4 years’ service
