- Lead the design and validation of high-capacity power transformers (up to 220kV/400kV class) and special-application transformers (Furnace, Rectifier, Solar).
- Perform electromagnetic design calculations (losses, impedance, short circuit forces, thermal management) using software tools.
- Review mechanical designs to ensure structural integrity and optimal cooling.
- Mentor junior design engineers and approve design protocols and Bill of Materials (BOM).
- Analyze customer technical specifications (IEC, IEEE, ANSI, IS) and prepare detailed technical proposals, guaranteed technical particulars (GTP), and compliance statements.
- Collaborate with the sales team to develop optimized, cost-effective, and technically sound transformer designs to win bids.
- Lead technical discussions with clients, consultants, and internal stakeholders during pre-tender and contract stages.
- Oversee and analyze routine, type, and special tests (e.g., Impulse, Temperature rise, Dielectric tests) in NABL accredited labs.
- Validate design calculations against test results and implement improvements.
- Troubleshoot test failures and conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to rectify defects.
- Provide expertise on transformer diagnostics, including DGA, Tan Delta, SFRA, and partial discharge monitoring.
- Provide technical support for on-site commissioning, failure investigations, and overhauling projects.
- Develop condition assessment reports and health indexing to guide maintenance strategies.
- Ensure compliance with applicable external and internal regulations, procedures, and guidelines.
- Live Hitachi Energy's core values of safety and integrity.
What We're Looking For
