Design Manager

Design Manager (Dry Type Transformers & Chokes).

Design Manager for Dry Type Transformers and Chokes to lead our engineering design team

The role involves overseeing the design and development of low-voltage and medium-voltage dry type transformers, reactors, and chokes for industrial, renewable, and utility applications.

The ideal candidate will have deep technical expertise, strong knowledge of applicable standards, and proven leadership skills to ensure high-quality, cost-effective, and innovative product designs.

• Lead the complete design process for dry type transformers (cast resin, VPI, etc.) and chokes/reactors.
• Perform and validate electromagnetic, thermal, dielectric, and mechanical calculations.
• Develop detailed design drawings, BOMs, and technical specifications.
• Ensure compliance with IEC, IS, ANSI, IEEE, and other relevant standards.
• Drive design optimization for efficiency, size reduction, thermal performance, and noise reduction.

• Manage, mentor, and develop a team of design engineers.
• Review and approve designs, calculations, and technical documents prepared by the team.
• Allocate tasks, set priorities, and monitor progress against project timelines.
• Provide training on new tools, materials, and design methodologies.

• Evaluate and adopt new materials, insulation systems, and winding technologies.
• Implement simulation tools (FEA, electromagnetic, and thermal analysis) to improve design accuracy.
• Promote standardization and modular design approaches to reduce cost and lead time.

• Work closely with manufacturing, testing, quality, and supply chain teams to ensure design feasibility and manufacturability.
• Support sales and tendering teams with technical inputs for proposals, RFQs, and customer queries.
• Participate in customer discussions, clarify technical requirements, and provide engineering support during FAT/SAT.

Experience

• 8 - 12 years of transformer/reactor/choke design experience, with at least 35 years in dry type transformer design.
• Minimum 3 years in a leadership or managerial role.

Technical Skills

• Strong knowledge of dry type transformer and choke design principles.

• Expertise in insulation systems (cast resin, VPI), cooling methods, and mechanical structures

  .
• Proficiency in design and simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS, Maxwell, MagNet, MATLAB, AutoCAD, or similar).
• Familiarity with IEC 60076, IEC 60726, IEEE, and other applicable standards.
