About the Role 

As a Powertrain Engineering Intern, you will have the unique opportunity to work alongside our team of experts in the field of quiet electric propulsion. This internship is designed to provide hands-on experience and exposure to various aspects of powertrain engineering.

What You’ll Do

• Research and acquire COTS motors and controllers to integrate into propulsor prototypes
• Design and optimize electric motors for weight and efficiency using a combination of in-house electromagnetic/thermal analytical models and electromagnetic/thermal FEA tools
• Design dyno testing fixtures and perform dyno testing to characterize the powertrain system across the propulsor duty cycle
• Analyze the dyno test data, produce reports, and conduct reviews
• Prepare and conduct design reviews

Basic Qualifications

• US Person Status
• Currently pursuing a degree in electrical engineering or a related field.
• Strong understanding of AC electric motors, basic control algorithms, and testing methods
• Strong understanding of 3 phase power fundamentals
• Strong interest in sustainable aviation technology, regional air mobility, and quiet propulsion systems.
• Proficiency with one or more discipline-specific software: Python, C/C , LabView, EAGLE or Altium, Arduino, ANSYS Maxwell

Bonus Qualifications

• Strong understanding of EM and thermal design of electric motors
• Experience in rapid prototyping, designing to take full advantage of 3D printing tools
• Drone or model aircraft experience
• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop system development
• Experience designing electromechanical assemblies
