ABOUT THE COMPANY

Our client is a fast-growing power infrastructure and energy technology company specialising in the development and engineering of critical electrical equipment for modern power transmission and utility networks.

The organisation focuses on advanced high-voltage equipment and complex engineering solutions that support grid reliability, operational safety and the evolving requirements of the global energy sector.

With a strong emphasis on engineering excellence, product innovation and quality, the company offers professionals an opportunity to contribute to the design and development of sophisticated high-voltage products.

ROLE OVERVIEW :

We are looking for a technically strong Mechanical Design Engineer High Voltage Circuit Breakers to join the product engineering team.

The role involves mechanical design, structural analysis, dimensional tolerancing, manufacturability assessment and qualification of high-voltage circuit breaker components and assemblies, particularly Dead Tank Circuit Breakers (DTCB).

The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in

1. High-voltage product design,
2. Mechanical engineering analysis,
3. CAD/CAE tools and applicable IEC/IEEE standards,
4. Along with the ability to collaborate with manufacturing, testing and cross-functional engineering teams.

KEY ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES

- Mechanical Product Design: Develop and evaluate mechanical designs for high-voltage circuit breaker components and assemblies, ensuring structural integrity, functional reliability and manufacturability.
- Mechanical & Structural Analysis: Perform fundamental mechanical and structural assessments to evaluate component strength, deformation, load-bearing capability and design suitability.




- Dimensional Engineering & GD&T;: Define component dimensions, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T;), ISO GPS requirements, fits and clearances to ensure accurate manufacturing and assembly.
- Interrupter / Arc Chamber Interfaces: Analyze component interfaces, clearances and dimensional requirements that support the intended operation of the arc chamber and interrupter assembly under dynamic switching conditions.
- Manufacturing & Assembly Support: Establish manufacturing tolerances and assembly requirements, review production-related design challenges, and recommend appropriate engineering solutions.
- Type Testing & Product Qualification: Define and support component and assembly qualification requirements, including applicable type-test and routine-test requirements under relevant IEC/IEEE standards and customer specifications.
- Design Validation: Evaluate product design parameters and engineering documentation to establish compliance with applicable technical and performance requirements.
- Customer Requirement Review: Review customer specifications, assess design suitability, identify technical gaps and support engineering teams in developing compliant solutions.
- Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with manufacturing, quality, testing, product engineering and other stakeholders to resolve technical queries and ensure smooth product development and qualification.
- Technical Documentation: Prepare and review engineering drawings, design calculations, analysis reports, dimensional specifications and related technical documents.

REQUIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

- B.E./B.Tech/M.E./ M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering.
- 4 TO 9 years of relevant experience in high-voltage product design,



preferably high-voltage circuit breakers or dead tank circuit breakers.
- Solid understanding of mechanical design principles, structural integrity, dimensional engineering, tolerances and clearances.
- Practical knowledge of GD&T; and ISO GPS.
- Experience with engineering software such as ANSYS, Pro/MECHANICA, SOLIDWORKS or equivalent CAD/CAE tools.
- Understanding of high-voltage circuit-breaker components, mechanical assemblies and manufacturing processes.
- Exposure to IEC/IEEE standards, type testing, product qualification and validation of high-voltage electrical equipment.
- Ability to analyse manufacturing or assembly issues and recommend technically sound corrective actions.
- Good communication, analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Willingness to travel approximately 20% as required.

PREFERRED CANDIDATE PROFILE Candidates with hands-on mechanical product design experience in high-voltage circuit breakers, DTCB/HVCB assemblies or closely related high-voltage switchgear products will be preferred.

Experience in general mechanical design, automotive components, HVAC, machine design or substation project engineering alone may not be sufficient without relevant high-voltage product engineering exposure.

Why Consider This Opportunity

- Work on complex high-voltage engineering products and advanced power-grid infrastructure.
- Contribute to product design, structural analysis and engineering qualification.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering and manufacturing teams.
- Build expertise in specialized high-voltage equipment and international engineering standards.

Interested candidates with relevant high-voltage product design experience are encouraged to apply. Please get in touch with me if any 1 matches the above criteria. Salary/ Compensation is not a constraint. Good CTC and hike can be given
