Job Summary We are seeking a Senior Engineer – EV Motor & Controller Development to support the development and integration of electric traction motors and motor controllers for new Electric Vehicle (EV) programs , from concept through production readiness.

The role will involve working with cross-functional engineering teams and motor/controller suppliers on technical specifications, design reviews, prototype development, validation, performance characterization, issue resolution, and project deliverables.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the design and development of EV traction motors and motor controllers for new vehicle programs.
• Support development activities for electric motor technologies including PMSM, BLDC, and induction motors.
• Prepare and maintain technical specifications, SORs, system requirements, and development documentation.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams for motor and controller design, development, integration, and validation.
• Work closely with motor and controller suppliers on technical requirements, design reviews, prototype development, testing, and issue resolution.
• Review motor/controller design reports, simulation results, validation data, and technical deliverables.
• Support motor performance characterization and validation through dynamometer (dyno) testing.
• Support evaluation of motor parameters including performance, efficiency, thermal behaviour, torque, speed, and power characteristics.
• Support motor controller/inverter development and integration with the vehicle powertrain.
• Contribute to the development and evaluation of motor control strategies such as Field-Oriented Control (FOC).
• Support failure analysis, root-cause investigation, corrective actions, and technical issue closure.
• Coordinate with suppliers and internal teams to track development milestones, technical deliverables, timelines, and cost targets.
• Support vehicle-level integration of motors and controllers with the broader EV powertrain and electrical architecture.
• Ensure development activities comply with applicable automotive safety, performance, and regulatory requirements.
