About Us: Auriga Space is developing an electromagnetic space launch system that offers significant advantages in launch cost, reliability, frequency, and responsiveness when compared to conventional systems.

  • Provide technical guidance and expertise to resolve complex electric motor engineering challenges and contribute to critical decision-making.


Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics or a related field.
  • Minimum of 5 years in electromagnetic engineering with a focus on Electric motor/generator design and development, with a demonstrated track record of leading and managing engineering teams.
  • Proficiency in a 2D/3D electromagnetic simulation software (e.g., COMSOL, JMag, ANSYS Maxwell, Altair Flux).
  • Thorough understanding of electric motor theory, design principles, modeling techniques, and analysis.
  • Good understanding of motor control theory and algorithms.
  • Familiarity with single and multi-objective optimization techniques.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, both written and verbal.
  • Proactive self-starter, capable of multitasking and moving at a quick pace in a startup environment.
  • Ability to work effectively in a team environment


Why Join Us:

  • Make a significant impact in an early-stage company, and play a significant role in setting the technical direction of the company.
  • Be a critical and early team member in a growing space industry.
  • Competitive compensation package with comprehensive benefits.
  • Collaborative work environment that values diversity, creativity, and excellence.
  • Opportunity for career growth and influence in a rapidly growing aerospace company.
