Hello everyone,
I had gone on the chat and I was referred and encouraged to put my question on this engineering section. I am having a very hard time finding sources to locate an electromagnetic engineer with very specific experience. I would appreciate it if anyone could guide me as to where I may find forums, societies, boards, school bulletins or school boards on this subject. Where do electromagnetic engineers hang and chat?
I am looking for someone that is just finishing with their Ph.D or Masters in Electrical/Electromagnetic Engineering. Preferably Ph.D. I am not seeking EE's concerning RF, antennas or microwaves. I am looking for someone that has the knowledge or the experience in working with permanent magnet generators and motors, induction, wound field machines and other electromagnetic devices. Engineer must have a thorough understanding of electromagnetic principles and analysis, in particular the magnetic structure and relationships of electrical machines. They would be working with magnet motors/generators from 8m in diameter to motors/generators over 700lbs for hybrid electric buses.
I have searched in so many places but most that I come across are in antennas and microwaves and things of that nature. They're willing to take prospect in and mentor and train to fulfill important position within company. Would eventually replace the chief engineer that is on their way out. This chief engineer would rather mold the right prospect from scratch if they had the choice. They would definitely consider prospects with experience already though. When i have in the rare occasion found someone with experience in the workforce...they are demanding extremely high compensation. I understand they have the right to, which makes me see this as more of an entry level or novice level. I only say that because of the compensation. It has a comp of $110k/year.
If anyone has any insight as to where I may find someone like this, I would greatly appreciate it if you could reach out to me. Thank you.
Jody
