We are seeking an experienced and vision-driven Manager Application Engineering Power Generation Electrical Design to lead our electrical product design team. In this role, you will be responsible for end-to-end electrical design execution for diesel, gas, and hybrid generator sets (Gensets) ranging high-power industrial and utility-scale units.
You will lead cross-functional projects, managing the detailed design, selection, and integration of critical electrical subsystems, including control panels, power breaker panels/switchgear, and heavy-duty wiring harnesses.
Key Responsibilities
1. Team Leadership Project Management
- Lead, mentor, and build a team of electrical hardware engineers, harness designers, and panel layout draftspersons.
- Act as the technical lead for generator set electrical architecture across New Product Introduction (NPI), and value engineering (VAVE) initiatives.
- Drive project schedules, design milestones, design reviews, and cost targets for all electrical deliverables.
2. Control Panel Automation Design
- Oversee the design, engineering, and logic implementation of Genset Control Panels (MCP / DCP).
- Architect systems integrating micro-controller-based Genset controllers (e.g., Deep Sea, ComAp, Woodward, Deif).
- Standardize instrumentation, protection relays, communication protocols (CANbus, J1939, Modbus, Ethernet), and IoT remote monitoring telemetry systems.
3. Breaker Panel Power Distribution Design
- Lead the design and selection of power breaker panels, Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS), and Motorized Paralleling Breakers (ACB/MCCB).
- Calculate busbar cross-sections, short-circuit ratings, temperature rise, and cable sizing for high-current applications.
- Ensure proper selection and integration of current transformers (CTs), potential transformers (PTs), surge protection (SPD), and neutral grounding resistors (NGR).
4. Wiring Harness Routing Engineering
- Direct the design of low-voltage DC control harnesses, engine sensor harnesses, and AC power distribution wiring.
- Standardize harness components including heavy-duty industrial/automotive connectors (Deutsch, Amphenol), terminal blocks, conduits, and protective sleeving.
- Ensure harness design accounts for thermal isolation, vibration resistance, electromagnetic interference (EMI/EMC), and ingress protection (IP ratings).
5. Compliance, Testing Quality
- Ensure all designs strictly comply with global and regional electrical standards (e.g., IEC 61439, ISO 8528, CE, IEEE).
- Oversee Prototype Build, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Type Testing, thermal rise testing, short-circuit testing, and EMI/EMC validation.
- Champion Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and 8D problem-solving processes for electrical field failures or quality issues.
Qualifications Technical Skills
Education Experience
- Education: Bachelors or Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Electronics Engineering (EEE), or equivalent.
- Experience: 812+ years in electrical design engineering, with at least 35 years in a leadership/management role within the Generator Set, Switchgear, Heavy Equipment, or Power Systems industries.
Technical Skills Tools
- Design CAD Software: Proficiency in 2D/3D electrical CAD tools (e.g., EPLAN Electric P8, AutoCAD Electrical, Creo Harness / CATIA Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical).
- System Design: Deep working knowledge of Genset paralleling systems, load sharing, power management systems (PMS), and grid-tie grid protection.
- Electrical Analysis: Hands-on ability to perform short-circuit calculations, protective device coordination studies, and thermal/voltage drop calculations.
Soft Skills
- Strong leadership, project management, and cross-functional coordination skills.
- Strategic thinking with a continuous improvement and cost-optimization mindset.
- Excellent technical documentation and presentation skills.
