About the role
Zipline is looking for a Motor Electromagnetic Engineer to develop and own the analytical and numerical modeling and validation capabilities used to design, select, and optimize electric machines across our aircraft platforms.
What they're looking for
- Develop, validate, and maintain electromagnetic models for Zipline’s propulsion and auxiliary motors
- Build a reusable and well-governed library of motor models, assumptions, material data, winding definitions, simulation results, and validation evidence
- Generate torque-speed envelopes, efficiency maps, loss breakdowns, voltage and current requirements, flux-linkage and inductance maps, demagnetization limits, and fault-performance data
- Create scalable design-space “clouds” and perform sensitivity and uncertainty studies across geometry, materials, windings, temperature, tolerances, and operating conditions
- Develop reduced-order and surrogate models for aircraft optimization, mission simulation, controls development, and thermal analysis
- Integrate motor models with inverter, battery, propeller or driven-load, thermal, and aircraft mission models
