To strengthen its electrification solution team, Altair is hiring an application engineer specialized in the design of electric motor drives.

Job Summary

The design of electric drive systems requires a multiphysics approach to accurately analyze the performance of motors, converters, and batteries.

This includes electromagnetic, structural, NVH, thermal, fluid dynamics domains and various couplings between them. Simulation solutions should also consider several levels of modeling, from 1D at system level, to full 3D to optimize each component.

We are looking for an application engineer to strengthen the team that is developing our electrification solution, making sure that it answers the challenges of our customers and brings the best available numerical techniques within easy to use workflows.

Your role will be to work with the development team on the definition of the features that need to be developed, propose efficient simulation and optimization workflows, providing automated solutions.

You will participate to the testing, the documentation and the promotion of the solution.

What You Will Do

• Work with product managers to specify developments
• Develop and automate simulation workflows
• Test software to ensure responsiveness and efficiency
• Write software documentation
• Ensure advanced support of customers
• Build presentations and videos that demonstrate the developed capabilities

What You Will Need

• Solid theoretical background in electrical engineering
• Good knowledge in numerical methods
• Knowledge in battery design, motor design and power converters
• Good practice of 1D and 3D simulation tools
• Ability to write Scripts in Python language.
• Excellent communication skills
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies and development processes
• Be a team player able to take responsibilities.
• Full professional proficiency in English
• Master or PhD degree in electrical engineer or similar
