What You’ll Do What You’ll Bring
- Understand system specs and sensitivities
- Build high fidelity EIBD system model (tribology, tribo-chemical, and electrical based) connected with in house electromagnetic models. The goal is to inform current and future design
- Optimize the existing and innovate new EIBD characterization testing equipment and testing methods
- Understand the existing EIBD migration system design and input variables
- Validate and optimize model through tribometer level and drive unit level characterization testing
- Analyze data and find most cost friendly EIBD mitigation solution which meet design requirements
- Organize cross functional teams to tackle this system challenge
- Optimize the current system tribology model
- Apply tribology simulation to assist design projects
- Understanding tribological simulation of various contact mechanics and quickly build high fidelity models to predict tribological conditions to drive hardware design decisions
- Understanding of EIBD mechanism in drive unit (drive inverter, electric motor, and gearbox), corresponding failure mechanism, and mitigation solutions
- Understanding of bearing failure mechanism
- Background in electrical engineering and mechanical engineering
- Experience with data analysis software (e.g., MATLAB, Simulink, Python, etc.)
- Experience in 3D modeling a plus. CATIA preferred
- Experience with instrumentation, measurement, calibration, and tribology laboratory testing
- Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering a plus
- Modeling architecture experience a plus
- Understanding of bearing lubrication a plus, working knowledge of drive unit a plus
These jobs might be a good fit
