Mission
The primary responsibility of this role is to lead design engineering for product development of LV Circuit Breakers (MCCB & ACB) and Accessories. This is to meet customer-specific technical, cost, and market-related technology requirements in accordance with standards (IEC, UL...). The candidate will be involved in all phases of product development.
Roles and Responsibilities
- Design & Development:Develop designs to meet electrical distribution market needs defined by product technical specifications.
- Responsible for the design, development, testing, documentation, and manufacturing readiness.
- Hands-on experience working on LV products like MCCB, ACB, Contactors, Thermal Relays, circuit-breakers, and accessories (rotary handle, motor mechanism, trip unit, ...).
- Engineering Analysis:Lead engineering analysis on design concepts using engineering fundamentals and analysis tools (material strength, stack-up analysis, mechanism).
- Conduct complex design feasibility studies using hands-on 3D software like Pro/e.
- Manufacturing & Cost Optimization:Have manufacturing/tooling knowledge to perform in metallic and plastic parts design.
- Perform Design for Cost/Design for Manufacture Analysis (DFM/DFA) on individual parts, subassemblies.
- Propose alternate materials and methods of assembly and manufacture.
- Testing & Qualification:Develop and test product qualification, certification, and reliability requirements.
- Manage execution of prototype design; build and test.
- Troubleshoot and perform root cause analysis to resolve design concept failures.
- Collaboration & Documentation:Interact and challenge cross-functional teams such as manufacturing, sourcing, finance, marketing, and vendors to define requirements, validate designs, implement manufacturing readiness, and support product launch.
- Develop and update product documentation including drawings, BOMs, and design guides.
Qualifications
- BE / B Tech in Mechanical/Electrical engineering with 8+ relevant experience.
Requirements
- Experience in product design, production engineering, and value engineering.
- Exposure to product design & development, quality, value engineering, costing of electrical distribution products like Low Voltage circuit breakers, MCCB, ACB.
- Manufacturing knowledge for molding, casting, & assembly processes and tooling.
- Good knowledge of materials - plastics.
- Working knowledge of CAD/CAE software like Pro/E and mechanism with Dimension chain analysis.
- Project & design management skills is a must.
- Proven communication & interpersonal skills - a clear thinker that can simplify complexity.
- Able to set clear goals, communicate priorities.
- Experience in full product life cycle (scoping, feasibility, execution, production, establishment)
