Electrification Application Engineer

• Onsite Position and non-local candidates would need to relocate at own expense. Worker will sit between the Morrisville Engineering lab and John Deere Cary sites. Travel may be required domestically.
• Metatarsals required.

• Plans, coordinates, and carries out the product analysis, design, and testing activities for electric drive systems used in Deere products. Electric drive system components include electric machines, alternators, inverters, converters, batteries, and control systems.

Major Duties include:

• Design - systems: works with the vehicle engineers to define and develop the requirements of electric drive systems and designs the system.
• Design - components: works with internal teams (electric motors, batteries, power electronics, software) and external suppliers to define and develop the component requirements. This position does not involve detailed component development.
• Design - vehicle Integration: works with vehicle engineers to integrate the electric drive system into the vehicle.
• Vehicle and system commissioning - commission new systems and vehicles, including troubleshooting vehicle system problems, determining application specific software performance parameters.
• Vehicle and system testing - plan and execute functional testing of electric drive systems and vehicles.

Knowledge and Skills:

• Demonstrated ability to design electric drive systems.
• Demonstrated ability to verify electric drive components and systems.

Required Experience:

• Technical experience relating to the development (design and/or test) of electric drive systems (at least 2 years)

Desired Experience:

• Strong practical experience in electric drive technology product application.
• Experience with component development of electric machines or power electronics or alternators or batteries or power harnesses.
• Experience with vehicle engineering (examples include agriculture, construction, automotive, recreation, mining).

Top focus areas for candidate experience/skills:

• Designing electric drive systems in a production environment.
• system requirements.
• system design – selection of motors, electronics, batteries, and software to meet requirements.
• vehicle integration – interfaces and constraints.
• Determining application specific software performance parameters.
• Control gains, limits, slew rates, protection thresholds, algorithm performance parameters.
• Verifying/testing electric drive systems (system in lab & vehicle at test site).
• Vehicle engineering experience/familiarity (examples include agriculture, construction, automotive, recreation, mining).
• This position does not involve detailed component development.
