Senior Electrical Engineer

Overview

We are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to join our engineering team and contribute to the system-level electrical design and development of high-power electrical systems (up to 2.5 MVA) for Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), Static Transfer Switch (STS), Power Distribution Unit (PDU), and high-power test bay systems. The role involves hands-on design work, compliance with local and international standards, and collaboration with cross-functional teams. The expectation is end-to-end responsibility, including concept, architecture, detailed design, validation, and support through manufacturing and factory acceptance tests (FAT).

Key Responsibilities and Accountabilities

• Electrical System Design : Support the design and review of electrical systems for UPS, STS, and PDU rated up to 2.5 MVA. Develop detailed schematics and layouts using EPLAN.
• Busbar & Cable Design : Perform busbar design, including thermal analysis for high-current applications. Calculate and select appropriate cable sizes for power systems and harness design.
• Bill of Materials (BOM) & ERP Management : Prepare and maintain BOMs for assigned projects. Manage workflows and data in ERP systems.
• Component Selection & Calculations : Conduct electrical calculations (short-circuit, load flow, protection coordination). Assist in selecting components such as switchgear, transformers, and protective devices.
• High-Power Test Bay Design & Testing : Contribute to the design of high-power test bays, including integration of grid emulators, recirculation systems, and safety interlocks. Participate in hands-on high-power testing, troubleshooting, and validation of systems. Ensure test setups comply with safety standards and operational requirements.
• Safety & Compliance : Apply arc-flash analysis, grounding system design and practices, and safe work procedures for high-voltage / high-current systems. Ensure compliance with NEC, NFPA, UL, IEC, and other relevant standards.
• Root Cause Analysis : Diagnose and resolve technical issues in power electronics systems using simulation and analytical techniques to identify and implement effective solutions.
• Innovation & Continuous Learning : Stay current with emerging trends in power electronics and electrical system design. Integrate innovative techniques to enhance product performance and reliability.
• Safety & Risk Management : Follow all electrical safety protocols and contribute to risk assessments. Support implementation of safe work practices for high-voltage / high-current systems.
• Collaboration & Documentation : Work closely with other engineers and manufacturing teams. Prepare technical documentation, test procedures, and compliance reports.
