At Ingeteam, we value diversity and facilitate the inclusion of people with disabilities. Therefore, if you meet the general requirements for the vacancy and hold a certificate with a degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%, we will positively value your candidacy.

Ingeteam, a leading company specializing in electrical engineering and the development of electrical equipment, motors, generators, and frequency converters, is looking to hire a Mechanical Design Engineer for Electrical Machines for the Aeronautical Sector at its Zamudio facilities.

You will join the company's R&D area within a multidisciplinary group with the challenge of laying the foundations for the development of rotating electrical machines for aeronautical applications/aeronautical systems.

Your mission will be to develop and mature the technology necessary for the mechanical design, industrialization, testing, and validation of rotating electrical machines (motors and/or generators) for aeronautical propulsion and/or in-flight power generation, ensuring compliance with applicable technical, quality, and certification requirements.
The scope of development includes: (i) propulsion with direct connection to propeller (full electric or series hybrid architectures), (ii) electrical machine integrated into a turbine (parallel hybrid architectures), and (iii) electrical machines for onboard power generation.

Within the framework of hybrid and fully electric architectures, the position has an applied R&D focus (low-to-medium TRL towards high TRL), oriented towards converting aeronautical requirements into robust and verifiable design solutions. The engineer will be responsible for establishing and applying design and verification methodologies (structural calculation, tolerances, materials, joints, rotordynamics/vibrations, thermal management, and mechanical interfaces), as well as defining the testing strategy and the associated evidence of compliance.

The ultimate goal is to have validated designs and replicable processes (design-manufacturing-testing) that allow for evolution from prototypes to solutions ready for integration into aeronautical programs, minimizing technical and certification risk.

• Propose and evaluate design alternatives, considering trends and the state of the art in the aeronautical sector.

• Define and apply the tools, methodologies, and development processes necessary for new products (design, calculation, verification, and documentation).

• Perform the mechanical design of the system (rotating electrical machine and/or its subassemblies) based on the requirements defined in the initial phases of the project.

• Execute the calculation and sizing of the various design alternatives.

• Analyze results, assess trade-offs (weight, stiffness, costs, manufacturability, maintainability), and select the optimal solution in coordination with the team.

• Develop the design until its industrial maturity: 3D CAD models, 2D drawings, tolerances, material selection, and technical specifications.

• Participate in validation, incident management, and component redesign under a continuous improvement approach.
