At ABB, we help important industries outrun - leaner and cleaner.

Every person here makes that happen. By rethinking, rewiring, and improving, we combine the world's best minds and technologies to elevate performance to a whole new level.

Your Role and Responsibilities

1. Core Design & R&D
• Advanced Simulation: Utilize advanced numerical simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS Maxwell, COMSOL, JMAG) for precise electromagnetic field analysis; lead the resolution of Multi-Physics coupling challenges (Electromagnetic-Thermal-Structural-Fluid).
• Prototyping & Validation: Design and guide prototype manufacturing, experimental plans, and performance testing; validate theoretical models through data comparison and drive iterative design optimization.
• Innovation: Develop application schemes for high-performance electromagnetic materials and innovative topological structures to significantly improve motor efficiency, power density, torque density, and reliability.
• Master the electromagnetic design and modeling, simulation, optimization for a wide range of motors and generators, including Permanent Magnet (PM), Induction, and Synchronous machines.

2. Strategic Planning & Foresight
• Tech Watch: Monitor and conduct in-depth research on global cutting-edge trends, lead technical feasibility analysis and pre-research.
• Roadmap: Participate in formulating the medium-to-long-term strategic planning and technology roadmap for the research center's electromagnetic domain.
• New Tech Integration: Explore the application of emerging technologies such as AI and Digital Twin in motor design, optimization, and condition monitoring.
• Lab Development: Guide the planning and construction of key testing platforms (e.g., EMC Lab, Environmental Simulation Lab).

3.Interdisciplinary Collaboration
• Cross-Functional Synergy: Deeply participate in interdisciplinary projects (Drives/Inverters, Control Theory, Thermal Management, Structural, NVH, Materials) to ensure synergistic optimization of electromagnetic design with other disciplines.
• Manufacturability: Work closely with engineering and process teams to ensure the manufacturability (DFM) of innovative designs.

4.Industry Impact & Academic Contribution
• Publications: Author high-quality technical reports, patent applications, and academic papers; publish research results at top international conferences and journals.
• Representation: Represent ABB at key domestic and international industry conferences, standards committees, and technical forums to build a broad academic and industry network.
• Competitive Intelligence: Analyze competitor technologies and industry standards/regulations (e.g., energy efficiency, safety norms) to provide input for R&D direction and IP strategy.
• Sustainability: Integrate sustainability concepts into design, assess the full lifecycle environmental impact of motors, and drive green, low-carbon design practices.

Qualifications for the Role

Education(Level): Ph.D. degree (or Master's degree with 10+ years of R&D experience) in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mechatronics, or related fields.

Major: Electromagnetic Field Theory, Motor Principles
