Senior Engineer, Electromechanics

Job Description

Position Objective

The primary objective of this role is to lead the design engineering efforts for the development of Low Voltage (LV) Air Circuit Breakers and associated accessories. The role focuses on delivering innovative, cost-effective, and standards-compliant solutions tailored to customer-specific technical and market requirements. The candidate will be actively involved in all phases of the product development lifecycle, from concept through to production readiness.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop LV electrical distribution products in alignment with technical specifications and market needs.
• Lead the end-to-end product development process including design, prototyping, testing, documentation, and manufacturing readiness.
• Apply hands-on expertise in LV products such as MCCBs, ACBs, contactors, thermal relays, and accessories (e.g., rotary handles, motor mechanisms, trip units).
• Conduct detailed engineering analysis using design fundamentals and tools (e.g., material strength, tolerance stack-up, mechanism design).
• Utilize 3D CAD software (e.g., Pro/ENGINEER) for complex design feasibility studies and modeling.
• Demonstrate strong knowledge of manufacturing processes and tooling for both metallic and plastic components.
• Perform Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) evaluations, recommending alternative materials and production methods.
• Define and execute product qualification, certification, and reliability testing protocols.
• Manage prototype development, build, and testing activities.
• Conduct root cause analysis and implement corrective actions for design issues.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including manufacturing, sourcing, finance, marketing, and suppliers to ensure design validation and production readiness.
• Maintain and update comprehensive product documentation including drawings, BOMs, and design guidelines.

Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelors degree (B.E./B.Tech) in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering from a reputed institution.
• 8–15 years of experience in the design and development of low voltage electrical distribution devices.
• Proven expertise in product design, production engineering, and value engineering.
• In-depth knowledge of LV circuit breakers (MCCB, ACB), product costing, and quality standards.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes such as molding, casting, and assembly, including tooling design.
• Proficient in CAD/CAE tools (e.g., Pro/ENGINEER) and mechanism design with dimension chain analysis.
• Demonstrated project and design management capabilities.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; ability to simplify complex concepts and collaborate with global stakeholders.
• Experience managing the full product lifecycle from concept to production.
• Strong commercial acumen and understanding of techno-commercial trade-offs.
• Self-motivated, analytical, and solution-oriented with a positive and persuasive approach.
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies is an added advantage.
