Your mission As our technical lead for electric motors, you take full ownership of the custom BLDC and stepper motors that drive our space equipment: motorized valves and pressure regulators, pumps and compressors, and potentially actuators for robotic mechanisms. You take them from first-principles sizing through hands-on testing in our Munich lab to flight qualification. In detail you will: Technical Ownership: Act as […]’s subject-matter expert for electric machines.
Define motor topologies, drive design decisions with Design-to-Cost in mind and build up our long-term motor know-how. Electromagnetic & Thermal Sizing: Size BLDC and precision stepper motors from first principles and with numerical tools, from magnetic circuit and slot/pole selection to winding design and thermal budget. Turn repeated calculations into Python sizing tools.
Extreme-Environment Design: Adapt motors to cryogenic temperatures and vacuum: magnetic material behaviour at low temperature, insulation integrity, cryogenic bearing lubrication and heat rejection without convection. Integrated Actuation: Package frameless stators and rotors directly into valve bodies, pump housings and mechanisms with our mechanical, systems and fluid engineers, and define drive and sensing requirements with our electronics team. Build & Process: Drive prototype builds with external winding and manufacturing partners and in-house (assembly, potting, sub-components), then turn what works into a controlled, repeatab
