The largest obstacle to the mass adoption of electrified transportation has been to create an affordable and reliable EV. To address this, the goal of this research, at the component level, is to develop fault detection and diagnosis techniques for continued functionality and performance of electric motors (e鈥搈otors) for an EV application.

The ideal candidate for this position will have a strong background in engineering, with a focus on electric motor design and optimization. Knowledge in electromagnetic machine design using FEA tools, working knowledge of electric motor and inverter controls is required.
