MISSION
The primary objective of this role is to carry out the design engineering for the development of Low Voltage (LV) Circuit Breakers / Switches and associated accessories. The role focuses on delivering cutting-edge, cost-effective, and standards-compliant (IEC..) solutions tailored to customer-specific technical and market requirements. The candidate will be actively involved in all phases of the product development lifecycle, from concept through to production readiness.
Key Responsibilities
Design and develop LV electrical distribution products in alignment with technical specifications and market needs.
Lead the end-to-end product development process including design, prototyping, testing, documentation, and manufacturing readiness.
Apply hands-on expertise in LV products such as MCCBs / ACBs / switches as well as accessories.
Improve thermal performance, electrical life, short circuit performance of product. Use good understanding of current density, contact buttons, venting, and arcing for product improvement. Improve based on observations & graphs generated during testing.




Conduct detailed engineering analysis using design fundamentals and tools (e.g., material strength, tolerance stack-up, mechanism design).
Utilize 3D CAD software (e.g., Pro/ENGINEER) for complex design feasibility studies and modeling.
Demonstrate strong knowledge of manufacturing processes and tooling for both metallic and plastic components.
Perform Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) evaluations, recommending alternative materials and production methods.
Conduct design for reliability & robustness. Apply six sigma requirements like QFD, DFMEA, P-Diagram
Manage prototype development, build, and testing activities.
Conduct root cause analysis and implement corrective actions for design issues.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including manufacturing, sourcing, finance, marketing, and suppliers to ensure design validation and production readiness.
