You take them from first-principles sizing through hands-on testing in our Munich lab to flight qualification.In detail you will:\nTechnical Ownership: Act as deltaVision’s subject-matter expert for electric machines. Define motor topologies, drive design decisions with Design-to-Cost in mind and build up our long-term motor know-how.\nElectromagnetic & Thermal Sizing: Size BLDC and precision stepper motors from first principles and with numerical tools, from magnetic circuit and slot/pole selection to winding design and thermal budget. Turn repeated calculations into Python sizing tools.\nExtreme-Environment Design: Adapt motors to cryogenic temperatures and vacuum: magnetic material behaviour at low temperature, insulation integrity, cryogenic bearing lubrication and heat rejection without convection.\nIntegrated Actuation: Package frameless stators and rotors directly into valve bodies, pump housings and mechanisms with our mechanical, systems and fluid engineers, and define drive and sensing requirements with our electronics team.\n Build & Process: Drive prototype builds with external winding and manufacturing partners and in-house (assembly, potting, sub-components), then turn what works into a controlled, repeatable process.\n Test & Qualification: Write test procedures and characterize your motors in our lab (back-EMF, cogging torque, torque-speed curves, step accuracy) through to qualification under cryogenic and vacuum conditions.\nYour profile\nDegree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or a related field, with a specialization in electrical machines.\n3+ years of engineering experience in the electromagnetic and mechanical design of electric motors, ideally BLDC and stepper, including frameless and flanged configurations for integrated actuators.\nHands-on experience with motor sizing and simulation tools (e.g. Motor-CAD, MotorXP, Ansys Maxwell, JMAG, FEMM) or your own Python-based analytical models.\nGood understanding of motor commutation, position sensing (Hall, resolver, encoder) and stepper drive behaviour.\nPractical knowledge of motor manufacturing: laminations, custom windings, magnet retention and bonding, insulation classes, encapsulation and process control.\nA hands-on mindset is mandatory: you inspect, assemble and troubleshoot hardware on the bench yourself, not only in simulation.\nMotivated, pragmatic and self-organized. You prefer “done” over “perfect on paper” and lead motor development independently across teams.\nFluency in English; German is a plus.\nWhat would make you stand out:\nExperience with motors or actuators for space, aerospace or other extreme environments (cryogenics, vacuum outgassing, vibration)\nExperience with motors or bearings operating at cryogenic temperatures\nFamiliarity with motor drive electronics (e.g. field-oriented control, microstepping) and controller testing\nExperience with ECSS or comparable qualification frameworks\nWe offer\nImmediate and flexible start\nPermanent full-time position (40 h/week)\nAttractive salary package\nStart your “Side Quest”: We support passion projects - whether it’s building new tools, test stands, or prototypes outside your main scope.\nShape our growth: As a fast-scaling company, we offer the opportunity to actively build structures and define our future path.\n30 days annual vacation and flexible working hours\nBike leasing, EGYM Wellpass and subsidy for the Deutschlandticket\nComplimentary beverages, company events, and professional development opportunities","description_format":"text","description_chars":3791,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Company events","Flexible schedule","Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Space Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T18:17:13Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":74,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":0.9,"p_active":0.819,"p_room":1,"age_days":51,"expected_fill_days":147,"reasons":["conf:48","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-14T05:58:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/deltavision-electric-motor-development-engineer-space-equipment-mfd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/deltavision-electric-motor-development-engineer-space-equipment-mfd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-14T19:28:53Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":23921,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":692427},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=692427"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdeltavision-electric-motor-development-engineer-space-equipment-mfd"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdeltavision-electric-motor-development-engineer-space-equipment-mfd"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdeltavision-electric-motor-development-engineer-space-equipment-mfd"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/deltavision-electric-motor-development-engineer-space-equipment-mfd\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdeltavision-electric-motor-development-engineer-space-equipment-mfd"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3474245}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"deltavision.space","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3474245},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
