About Zakirul Islam
As a Staff Design and Control Engineer at Tula Technology, I leverage over 6 years of experience in electric motor design and control, with a focus on developing and reverse-engineering high-performance electric motors, including PMa-SynRM, SynRM, WFSM, induction motors, and IPM motors. My work is grounded in expertise in electromagnetics, multitasking, and communication, as well as comprehensive multiphysics FEA simulation to optimize electromagnetic, thermal, structural, and NVH performance. I actively drive cross-functional collaboration in prototype development, RFQ generation, DFMEA, and testing initiatives, including dyno test planning, scripting, and data analysis. With a commitment to innovation and precision, I aim to contribute to advancing electric motor technology through robust design and validation processes that align with both company goals and market needs.
