Founded in 2004, HX5 is a fast-growing veteran- and woman-owned company with locations nationwide.\nHX5 is currently seeking an individual for its Electrical Engineering department to provide motor drive engineering support to NASA’s Glenn Research Center (GRC) Transformational Tools and Technologies' Alternative Propulsion Focus Area which develops next-generation hybrid propulsion technologies by innovating solutions for key next-generation hybrid electric propulsion sub-systems. The development strategy includes rapidly conducting analyses, designs, assemblies, integrations, ground test and flight test cycles to evaluate the potential of novel solutions. A key goal of this work is to create a rapid, novel system design methodology for next-generation hybrid propulsion through identifying and evaluating open-source software packages and artificial intelligence packages that have the potential to accelerate design cycles from idea to hardware flight implementation.\nRequired Skills:\nMust have hands-on experience designing and testing motor Drives. \nAbility to empirically measure the static mechanical output torque under various rotor/stator alignments and systematically compare these results against the motor's theoretical torque predictions. \nAbility to instrument the test setup to capture, measure, and record the corresponding electrical parameters of the drive, such as phase currents, voltages, and angle sensor outputs.\nAbility to use ECAD tools (KiCAD) for circuit design and PCB layout.\nOther Desired Skills:\nStrong problem-solving, troubleshooting, and systematic testing skills required to safely conduct experimental demonstrations on motor drive test beds. \nUnderstand use of AI tools to add in the generation of technical designs.\nFamiliar with DC power buses, Synchronous Reluctance Motors, and bi-directional motor drives. \nUnderstand of fault tolerant architectures.\nExperience:\nMust have one of the following combinations of education and experience:Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering with 2 to 5 years of experience.\nMaster’s degree with 0 to 2 years of experience.\n\nOther Position Requirements:\nProof of U.S. Citizenship or US Permanent Residency is a requirement for this position.\nMust be able to complete a U.S. government background investigation.\nHX5 offers a competitive salary and benefits package to include:\nRelocation Assistance\nMedical/Dental/Vision Insurance\n401(k) plan with Company Match\nPaid Holidays\nPaid Time Off\nLife Insurance\nTuition Reimbursement\nMedical and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts\nPet Insurance\nHX5, LLC is an
