Job Description
Key Responsibilities: ​ ​
1. Motor Design & Development ​
Responsible for mechanical structure design and development of motors, ensuring compliance with PRD requirements and quality standard
Use CAD software for 3D modeling and 2D engineering drawing preparation
Conduct tolerance analysis to meet manufacturing and assembly requirement
Perform structural layout, critical dimension chain calculation, and tolerance analysis
Lead selection of key components (permanent magnets, silicon steel sheets, insulation materials, bearings, etc.), establish technical specifications, and conduct technical exchanges with suppliers
Output complete technical documentation including 2D/3D drawings, technical specifications (BOM, DFMEA), and test requisition forms
Optimize and improve existing product structures to enhance competitiveness​

VAVE (Value Analysis & Value Engineering) ​​
2.1 Cost analysis and optimization:
Disassemble motor BOM costs (stator, rotor, magnets, bearings, housing, etc.), identify high-cost components and cost reduction opportunities
Lead cross-functional (design, procurement, manufacturing, sales) cost optimization projects
2.2 Propose motor design improvement solutions:
Material substitution (e.g., copper wire winding optimization: enameled wire usage/insulation materials)
Structural lightweighting (cast iron to die-cast aluminum)
Promote component integration
Platform consolidation
Validate solution feasibility
2.3 Supply chain collaboration for cost reduction:




Work with procurement to develop new suppliers and promote localized material substitution
Evaluate technical capabilities of tier-2 suppliers
Mass Production Support & Maintenance
Provide technical support to manufacturing, quality control, and procurement departments to resolve design-related issues
Analyze motor failure issues from mass production or customer feedback, identify root causes, and propose improvement measures
Initiate, review, and track implementation of design changes (ECN/ECR)
Establish CBB (Common Building Blocks) for motor components to promote standardization and reduce customization
Participate in supplier technical reviews and capability assessments
