Electric Motor Engineer

Job Description Summary

The Electric Motor Engineer will be responsible for electrical motor requirements and collaboration with suppliers on design within the Pitch and Yaw team. The engineer in the Pitch and Yaw system section is responsible for the definition of the requirements and acceptance criteria for the pitch and yaw motor within the Onshore and Offshore wind turbine platforms. Which includes being responsible for trade-off studies, customer and field support, engineering changes and design releases, loads assessment, bill of material creation and maintenance, validation always achieving the excellence in terms of safety and quality. You will work cross functionally with colleagues across the global pitch and yaw team, with the technical leader, principal engineer as well as sourcing, validation and quality teams. Focus for Electric Motor engineer is:

i) ensure safety and quality excellence: completion of all hardware releases, leading design changes; seeking most cost-effective and schedule-effective solutions.

ii) lead the product life cycle of the component: with a deep knowledge of the component, leads the trade-off studies and design of the component completing all the releases associated to the project and entire lifecycle of motor component (3D models, 2D drawings, loads assessment, bill of material, parts releases, configuration of the parts, and final approvals).
