with drive considerations
E) Working with manufacturing personnel on prototype construction,
specifications, and procedures and assist in conducting tests
F) Manage new and existing projects to completion
G) Preparing, creating, modifying computer programs using VB
(various types), Fortran, Visual C/C++ for product design, development,
and research purposes
H) Participate in preparation of instruction books, service manuals,
and similar technical data
* Performs analyses and calculations to determine best designs
for new product developments. The example types of analyses are
listed but not limited to as follows.
a) Equivalent circuit creation and calculation for various types
for electric machines including induction, synchronous, DC, and
PM
b) Electromagnetic FEA analysis
* Monitor work processes measures and documents to improve processes,
cycle time and performance. Contribute to and provide support
to Global Motor R&D in the effort for automated engineering and
drafting systems.
* Provide engineering support to the Marketing and application
engineers on new product negotiations.
* Consults with customer concerning further product improvements
