Resolver Design Engineer

Resolver Design Engineer

The Resolver Design Engineer creates conceptual designs, performs electromechanical analyses, develops detailed designs, leads cross functional teams, supports product prototype and pilot build fabrication and testing, participates in reviews with customers, and provides customer support. The successful candidate must have design and test experience with resolvers, electric motors, actuators, mechanisms, and electromagnetic design/analysis software. The Resolver Design Engineer is a product engineering role supporting the portfolio of motion control products while also driving the development of new products. A blend of hardware excitement with simulation background is ideal for this role, with design optimization and hardware debugging both key to success.

Who are we?

Founded in 1849, Ducommun is the oldest company in California. Starting as a hardware supply store during the California Gold Rush and eventually assisted in the birth of the aerospace industry in Southern California by providing aircraft aluminum to early aerospace pioneers like Lindbergh, Douglas and Lockheed.

Today Ducommun is a global provider of innovative manufacturing solutions for customers in the aerospace, defense and industrial markets. We specialize in electronic and structural systems, producing complex products and components for commercial aircraft platforms, mission-critical military and space programs, and sophisticated industrial applications.

Our Facility in Carson, CA is our Engineered Products Group location, which houses our Human Machine Interface, Motion Control Device, Radiofrequency Departments.
