\n Principal Electromagnetic Engineer – EMAG / EMC \n Location: Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey \n \n Shape the Next Generation of Electric Machines \n We’re looking for a Principal Electromagnetic Engineer to play a leading role in the development of advanced electricmotors, generators and electro-mechanical systems. \n \n This is a senior technical position for an engineer who combines deep electromagnetic design expertise with a hands-on approach to prototype development, testing and manufacturing. \n \n You’ll work from early concept and customer requirements through to design, validation and production release — solving complex engineering challenges along the way. \n \n The Role \n You’ll become a key technical authority for electromagnetic design across multiple development programmes, working closely with engineering, manufacturing and prototype teams. \n Your expertise will help shape high-performance electric machines for demanding, high-reliability applications. \n \n What You’ll Do \n\n • Lead electromagnetic design activities across product development programmes.\n, • Develop and optimise electric machine designs using ANSYS Motor-CAD and ANSYS Maxwell.\n, • Build analytical and simulation models to assess sizing, performance, losses, efficiency and NVH.\n, • Translate customer requirements and technical specifications into robust machine architectures and design concepts.\n, • Support technical proposals, work packages and development programmes from concept through to production.\n, • Consider electromagnetic, thermal, mechanical and system-level integration throughout the design process.\n, • Lead or make significant contributions to DFMEA, technical risk assessment and design robustness.\n, • Provide hands-on technical support during prototype builds and manufacturing activities.\n, • Work directly with prototype hardware, including windings, laminations and assembly processes.\n, • Investigate failures and lead structured root-cause analysis and corrective actions.\n, • Support electrical, mechanical and thermal validation and qualification testing.\n, • Prepare high-quality engineering reports, technical documentation, test plans and design review material.\n, • Produce and review 2D/3D CAD, drawings and BOMs where required.\n, • Support verification and validation activities and provide evidence for formal design reviews.\n, • Act as a technical reviewer, authority and mentor within the engineering team.\n, • Support concessions, deviations and non-conformance investigations where required.\n\n What You’ll Bring \n Essential: \n\n • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.\n, • Significant experience in electric machine electromagnetic design.\n, • Experience with machine technologies such as PMM, BLDC, BLAC, RFM or AFM.\n, • Strong understanding of:\n, • Electromagnetic theory\n, • Machine topology selection\n, • Magnetic materials\n, • Loss mechanisms\n, • EM/thermal coupling\n, • Mechanical and structural considerations\n, • Strong working knowledge of ANSYS Motor-CAD and ANSYS Maxwell.\n, • Experience acting as a technical authority, reviewer or approver.\n, • Strong experience with DFMEA and technical risk management.\n, • Experience in failure analysis and structured problem solving.\n, • Understanding of concessions, deviations and non-conformance management.\n, • A practical, hands-on approach and confidence working directly with prototype and manufacturing teams.\n, • Ability to turn complex technical requirements into practical machine-level designs.\n, • Excellent communication, documentation and stakeholder-management skills.\n, • Strong ownership and accountability for technical decisions.\n, • Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities.\n\n Desirable Experience \n Experience in one or more of the following would be highly advantageous: \n\n • Aerospace or defence\n, • Automotive electrification\n, • High-reliability engineering environments\n, • EMC / EMI\n, • Understanding how electric machine design affects system-level EMC performance.\n, • EMC coupling paths, shielding, grounding and filtering.\n, • Interaction between electric machines and inverter design.\n, • NVH and thermal systems.\n, • Advanced engineering materials.\n, • Design for manufacture and production processes.\n, • Digital engineering, scripting or AI-assisted engineering workflows.\n\n AI & Digital Engineering \n You’ll be encouraged to use AI and digital engineering tools to improve productivity, decision-making, engineering quality and cost efficiency. \n You should be able to identify valuable AI use cases while critically assessing and validating AI-generated outputs. \n \n Why This Role? \n This is more than a simulation role. \n You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of complex electromagnetic engineering challenges and see your designs move from concept simulation prototype validation production. \n \n If you’re a senior electromagnetic engineer who enjoys both deep technical analysis and hands-on engineering, this is an opportunity to make a real impact on the future of electric machine technology. \n Ready to engineer what comes next?
