Your mission

In detail you will:

  • Technical 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.
  • Electromagnetic & 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.
  • Extreme-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.
  • Integrated 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Your profile

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or a related field, with a specialization in electrical machines.
  • 3+ 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.
  • Hands-on experience with motor sizing and simulation tools (e.g. Motor-CAD, MotorXP, Ansys Maxwell, JMAG, FEMM) or your own Python-based analytical models.
  • Good understanding of motor commutation, position sensing (Hall, resolver, encoder) and stepper drive behaviour.
  • Practical knowledge of motor manufacturing: laminations, custom windings, magnet retention and bonding, insulation classes, encapsulation and process control.
  • A hands-on mindset is mandatory: you inspect, assemble and troubleshoot hardware on the bench yourself, not only in simulation.
  • Motivated, pragmatic and self-organized. You prefer “done” over “perfect on paper” and lead motor development independently across teams.
  • Fluency in English; German is a plus.

What would make you stand out:

  • Experience with motors or actuators for space, aerospace or other extreme environments (cryogenics, vacuum outgassing, vibration)
  • Experience with motors or bearings operating at cryogenic temperatures
  • Familiarity with motor drive electronics (e.g. field-oriented control, microstepping) and controller testing
  • Experience with ECSS or comparable qualification frameworks

We offer

  • Immediate and flexible start
  • Permanent full-time position (40 h/week)
  • Attractive salary package
  • Start your “Side Quest”: We support passion projects – whether it’s building new tools, test stands, or prototypes outside your main scope.
  • Shape our growth: As a fast-scaling company, we offer the opportunity to actively build structures and define our future path.
  • 30 days annual vacation and flexible working hours
  • Bike leasing, EGYM Wellpass and subsidy for the Deutschlandticket
  • Complimentary beverages, company events, and professional development opportunities
