Job Summary:
We are looking for an experienced and technically proficient Senior Engineer - New Product Development (NPD) to design and development of SF6-Free / Eco-Friendly Ring Main Units (RMU) and Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) products. This role requires deep expertise in sustainable medium-voltage switchgear technologies, strong product design and engineering capabilities, and proven experience in taking innovative RMU/GIS solutions from concept through development, validation, product release, and manufacturing. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with alternative insulation technologies such as clean air, dry air, vacuum insulation, or eco-gas solutions, along with comprehensive knowledge of MV switchgear standards and type testing requirements.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and develop new SF6- Free MV switchgear products and modify existing designs based on customer requirements, manufacturing needs, or market trends.
- Expertise in Load Break Switch (LBS), Vacuum Interrupter (VI), Shunt VI or Puffer Switching technologies used in SF6-free RMU/GIS products.
- Perform gas system design and pressure calculations for SF6-free RMU/GIS products, including enclosure sizing, pressure rise assessment, sealing concepts, and gas density monitoring with simulation driven validation.
- Ability to demonstrate your experience in designing of Sheet-metal parts, Casting, Forging and machined parts.
- Good knowledge of manufacturing process.
- Design and develop specialized moulded insulation components for SF6-free switchgear product, ensuring dielectric, thermal,
and mechanical performance.
- Create and review detailed design documents, such as Component drgs.(3D model), singleline diagrams, wiring schematics, and panel layouts.
- Perform electrical and mechanical design tasks, including creating detailed models and drawings.
- Conduct electrical calculations for short-circuit, voltage drop, and thermal rating to validate performance and safety. Ensure designs comply with relevant industry and customer standards (e.g., IEC, ANSI, AS).
