As an Electric Motor Project Manager at Blue Heart Energy, you plan and execute development projects for the electric motor and related components. You are the expert in electric motors and related topics, understand all the elements and can do some analysis yourself. You work on multiple projects at the same time, and you provide additional engineering and support on the topic of electric motors to other projects as well. You help prepare the electric motor for mass manufacturing.

You identify and coordinate the most important research questions to be answered by the Research and Validation team, and you identify projects that can be implemented to answer them. To do this, you work together with internal and external partners, for example, institutional partners and other suppliers that have experience in the field.

Together with your project team, you prepare the project plan. After this is set up, you manage the implementation of the project, including maintaining project schedules, managing project budgets, coordinating activities and ensuring that project deliverables are supplied on time.

Besides this, you also work on the technical engineering. This means you review existing product performance and literature, and write a technical development roadmap to deliver a mass manufacturable component. You also conduct technical analyses of the electric motor, and review analyses from the Research and Validation team and external suppliers. You provide technical feedback and support, so the electrical motor is improved on a daily basis.

Normally, you are part of the System Engineering team, though, for many projects you work collaboratively with the Research and Validation team, as they are more focused on understanding fundamental aspects. This depends on the project you are working on.
