Summer Placement - Simulation Engineering

We are looking for a Simulation Engineer to join our team for the summer. You will be contributing to real company projects: analysing data, developing simulation tools, and running/reporting simulation results. The ideal candidate will have an interest in electrification and/or automotive engineering, experience of technical programming languages (e.g. Matlab) and will be quick to pick up new ideas and concepts., Working in the Innovation team, you will be involved in the following:

• Running existing magnetic design toolchains and reporting the results to the team and wider business


• Developing the motor design toolchain to add new features, optimise execution speed or improve usability


• Interpreting test data and comparing with simulation results


• Developing and operating magnetic and thermal component test rigs


• Working closely with the rest of the innovation team to help inform product development


• Writing clean, efficient, and well-documented code mostly in Matlab
  
  We are looking for highly motivated university students with a clear passion for engineering and innovative technology, keen to gain skills and knowledge in a fast-paced, design and manufacturing environment. This internship will run for 3 months over the summer to gain real-world, hands-on experience within our exciting, market-leading company., Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree program in engineering, physics, computer science, data science, or a related field. Ideally in your penultimate year of study.


• An interest in electrification


• Good coding skills, and experience in building models of physical systems


• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail


• Excellent communication and collaboration skills


• Good initiative, with the ability to manage own time and priorities


• Flexibility in approach to work, with a desire to thrive in a dynamic and fast-moving environment


If you are interested in a career in the exciting field of electric motor design, and you want to work with a talented and dedicated team, we want to hear from you! Please apply now for immediate consideration. We look forward to hearing from you!

YASA manufactures a range of electric motors based on our unique motor topology at our factory and Company Headquarters in Oxfordshire. YASA was founded on the principle that small, light electric motors will play a growing role in meeting both the strict emissions targets being set globally in a wide range of industries and the requirement for greater efficiency through electrification.

YASA is an Oxford Uni spin-out and now a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz, we are dedicated to driving innovation in the field of axial flux electric motors. We can deliver a significantly smaller and lighter electric motor than any other competing technology. The innovation team drives forward development in motor performance. We have broad roles that cover a range of fast-paced projects.
