[Hiring] Senior Electrical Engineer @Electronic Power Design

Role Description

The Electrical Engineer is responsible for the design, development, and ongoing support of dry-type electrical distribution transformers. Working across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and commercial functions, this role takes products from concept through production launch, ensures compliance with industry standards, and drives continuous improvement in safety, quality, delivery, and cost. The position also serves as a technical resource for customers and suppliers and as a mentor to junior engineers and technicians.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and Engineering:
  • Designs and develops dry-type electrical distribution transformers.
  • Performs electrical calculations and analysis for core and coil design, impedance, loss evaluation, thermal performance, short-circuit withstand capability, voltage regulation, and efficiency optimization.
  • Develops and reviews transformer drawings, schematics, bills of materials (BOMs), and engineering documentation.
  • Interprets and applies customer specifications, technical standards, and regulatory requirements.
  • Supports new product introduction (NPI) initiatives from concept through production launch.
  • Evaluates design alternatives for manufacturability, reliability, performance, and cost efficiency.
• Manufacturing and Operations Support:
  • Partners closely with Manufacturing Engineering and Operations to improve product quality, throughput, and operational efficiency.
  • Provides technical support to production teams during transformer assembly, testing, and troubleshooting.
  • Conducts root cause analysis and corrective action for product failures and field issues.
  • Reviews and resolves production non-conformance and engineering deviations.
  • Assists with the implementation of engineering changes and the maintenance of configuration control processes.
  • Contributes to continuous improvement efforts focused on safety, quality, delivery, and cost reduction, including Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma initiatives.
• Testing and Compliance:
  • Supports electrical testing activities, including routine, design validation, heat run, impulse, and short-circuit testing.
  • Analyzes resulting data to prepare technical reports and recommendations.
  • Ensures products comply with applicable industry standards and regulations, including IEEE, ANSI, NEMA, UL, CSA, and DOE efficiency requirements.
  • Experience with other standards like IEC, BS is an advantage but not mandatory.
• Customer and Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  • Interfaces with customers, suppliers, and internal cross-functional teams on technical requirements and product solutions.
  • Participates in customer meetings and technical reviews as required.
  • Collaborates with Quality to investigate warranty claims and customer concerns.
  • Provides engineering support to Sales and Commercial teams during quotation and bid review.
• Leadership and Strategic Initiatives:
  • Mentors junior engineers and engineering technicians.
  • Supports strategic initiatives involving product standardization, cost optimization, and innovation.

Qualifications

• A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering is required; a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering is preferred.
• At least five years of progressive engineering experience in the dry-type electrical distribution transformer industry, including direct experience with dry-type transformers.
• Experience with medium-voltage and low-voltage transformer design is strongly preferred.
• Experience supporting manufacturing operations in a high-volume industrial environment, as well as prior work in sustaining engineering, product development, or R&D engineering, is also preferred.

Requirements

• Strong understanding of electromagnetic theory, transformer design principles, electrical power systems, thermal dynamics, insulation systems, and short-circuit analysis.
• Knowledge of transformer materials such as copper and aluminum windings, core steel, insulation systems, and dielectric fluids.
• Proficiency in electrical calculations and engineering analysis tools.
• Experience interpreting and applying IEEE, ANSI, and NEMA standards and DOE efficiency regulations.
• Familiarity with ERP and engineering systems; working knowledge of tools such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks or Creo, MATLAB, ETAP, ANSYS Maxwell, SAP, Oracle, or other ERP platforms, and the Microsoft Office Suite.

Benefits

• This role is remote.
