About the role
- If you're passionate about pushing the boundaries of motor technology and obsessed with achieving the impossible combination of performance, silence, and cost, we'd love to talk to you about how you can help us revolutionize home robotics.
- Each year, 2.5 trillion hours are spent on household chores.
- At Matic, we're on a mission to recapture that lost time, and we're doing it by revolutionizing home robotics.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end motor architecture from electromagnetic design through production validation for all motorized subsystems
- Design custom motor solutions optimizing for acoustic performance (<60dBA), efficiency (>85%), form factor, cost (<$15/unit), and scalability to 100k+ units/year
- Perform electromagnetic FEA simulations for motor optimization including flux density, cogging torque, and back-EMF analysis
- Select and validate motor control algorithms, drive electronics, and feedback systems for precise motion control
- Develop motor specification requirements balancing torque density, thermal management, and acoustic emissions
- Design accelerated life testing protocols specific to motor failure modes including bearing wear, insulation breakdown, and demagnetization
- Collaborate with suppliers on custom rotor/stator designs, winding patterns, and manufacturing processes
- Drive cost reduction initiatives through design optimization, material selection, and manufacturing process improvements
- Proven track record of shipping custom BLDC, PMSM, or reluctance motor designs in products
Requirements
- Technical degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Physics with focus on electromagnetics
- 5+ years of experience designing motors for high-volume consumer products or automotive applications
- Experience with motor simulation tools such as ANSYS Maxwell, JMAG, or Motor-CAD
- Experience with bearing systems, lubrication, and tribology for long-life applications
Compensation
- Base: $160,000 - $240,000 per annum.
- Actual Compensation will depend on skills, experience and qualifications.
- Base Salary is one part of the total compensation package.
Benefits
