Job overview

Fluxco is hiring a Senior Transformer Design Engineer. Fluxco is seeking a "dual-threat" Design Engineer with expertise in both Electromagnetic Analysis and Mechanical Design. This role involves owning the design process holistically, utilizing advanced simulation and parametric CAD to create electrically efficient and manufacturing-optimized designs. The ideal candidate is a software power-user who can bridge the gap between theoretical design and practical manufacturing.

Key focus areas include Perform detailed calculations for windings, core geometry, insulation coordination, and thermal performance, Create complex 3D assemblies for tanks, clamping structures, and bus work, and Design components accounting for material tolerances, bending radii, and assembly access.

Successful candidates bring 5+ Years Transformer Design Experience. Important skills include Electromagnetic Analysis, Mechanical Design, Electrical Simulation, ANSYS Maxwell, COMSOL, and Proprietary Magnetics Software. Preferred (not required): Growth Mindset.

Full job description

Job Summary We are looking for a rare "dual-threat" Design Engineer who excels in both Electromagnetic Analysis and Mechanical Design. You will not rely on separate departments for calculations and layouts; you will own the design holistically. The ideal candidate is a software power-user who utilizes advanced simulation and parametric CAD to create designs that are electrically efficient and optimized for manufacturing (DFM).

The "Software Expert" We Need

  • Electrical Simulation: You must be proficient in modeling flux density, losses, and impedance using tools like ANSYS Maxwell, COMSOL, or proprietary magnetics software.
  • Mechanical CAD: You must operate at an expert level in SolidWorks, Inventor, or Creo. We expect parametric modeling skills—where changing an electrical variable automatically updates the mechanical model. Core Responsibilities
  • Electrical Design: perform detailed calculations for windings, core geometry, insulation coordination, and thermal performance.
  • Mechanical Execution: Create complex 3D assemblies for tanks, clamping structures, and bus work.
  • DFM Optimization: Bridge the gap between theory and reality. Design components that account for material tolerances, bending radii, and assembly access to ensure smooth production.
  • Validation: Use software to run dielectric stress analysis (Electrical) and structural/seismic FEA (Mechanical) prior to release. Requirements
  • Education: We don't care how you got here—degree, self-taught, trade school, YouTube University. Are you the best at what you do? That's what we want.
  • Experience: 5+ years of comprehensive transformer design experience.
  • Technical Depth: Demonstrated ability to take a spec sheet and produce a complete, manufacturing-ready design package (Calculations + Drawings + BOM) without hand-holding.
  • Growth Mindset: This role has no ceiling. If you can own more of the process—quoting, customer specs, manufacturing oversight—we'll hand you the keys. Show us what you've got.
