They will propose original concept solutions and support the design & validation of high performance electrical machines for Aerospace applications.

•tThe individual will be key in the transformation of Customer needs into optimized electromagnetic architecture for future electrical machines. Strong communication across all business levels and within the project team is a requirement for this role.

•tWork Package Owner for the Electromagnetic Machine Design in a project team.
•tThe Principal Engineer - Electromagnetic Design will need to liaise with customers/key suppliers to ensure robust product specification & selection.
•tWill need to liaise with Operations to ensure that production is aligned with design intentions and uninterrupted.
•tNo specific budgetary responsibility.
•tThere are no direct reports to this role but the ability to lead others will be expected.
•tSelect the electrical machine type, topology and sizing most appropriate to answer customers needs (including size, weight, cost and reliability) in accordance with Safran product roadmaps.
•tUndertake the electromagnetic design and performance evaluation of new products from initial concept through completion of qualification testing and into service. Take overall responsibility for machine electromagnetic performance.
•tSupport technical discussions with customers when required during RFI / Bid phases and during Project design phase to optimise the machine design to the requirements.
•tPerform thermal analysis of electromagnetic components.
•tLiaise closely with other project team members such as control (power electronics), mechanical design, stress, thermal, manufacturing, sourcing and configuration, to ensure system requirements and performance is delivered.
•tLead the development of new technology initiatives, in particular new concepts of advanced electrical machine systems aimed at new “more & full electric aircraft” applications.
•tPropose innovative approaches to system and machine design to facilitate step change improvements in cost competitiveness.
•tParticipate in investigations and undertake analysis where necessary to resolve system performance issues.
•tMaintain, develop and optimise performance predictions data of electrical machines using electromagnetic FEA tools. Introduce new techniques and software solutions, as appropriate.
