Job Description

Description

The Electrical Design Engineer is responsible for the design, development, validation, and continuous improvement of electrical systems and components used in submersible motors. The role ensures that products meet performance, efficiency, safety, and regulatory requirements while supporting cost optimization and manufacturability.

Key Responsibilities

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Electrical Design & Development

Design electrical circuits, windings, and insulation systems for submersible motors (single-phase and three-phase).Develop motor designs considering voltage, current, torque, efficiency, thermal limits, and insulation class. Perform electromagnetic calculations, loss analysis, and efficiency optimization in line with IEC/IS standards. Select appropriate electrical materials such as copper conductors, insulation, varnishes, cables, and terminals.

2. Standards & Compliance

Ensure designs comply with applicable standards such as IEC, IS (BIS), NEMA, and customer-specific specifications. Support energy-efficiency compliance (e.g., IE2/IE3/IE4 where applicable). Prepare technical documentation required for statutory approvals and certifications.

3. Testing & Validation

Define and support type testing, routine testing, and performance testing of submersible motors. Analyze test results related to electrical performance, temperature rise, insulation resistance, and dielectric strength. Conduct root cause analysis for electrical failures and recommend corrective actions.

4. Manufacturing & Cross-Functional Support

Collaborate with production, quality, and sourcing teams to ensure designs are manufacturable and cost-effective. Support production during pilot runs, process validation, and issue resolution. Assist in vendor development and technical evaluation of electrical components. Prepare and maintain electrical drawings, winding diagrams, specifications, and BOMs. Implement engineering change requests (ECR/ECO) and maintain revision control. Ensure accurate documentation in ERP/PLM systems.

6. Continuous Improvement & Innovation

Participate in value engineering, cost reduction, and product improvement initiatives. Track field performance and customer feedback to improve reliability and durability. Stay updated with emerging technologies in motor efficiency, insulation systems, and electrical materials.
