Electrical Design Engineer (Submersible Motors)

Role & responsibilities

1. Electrical Design & Development

• Design electrical circuits, windings, and insulation systems for submersible motors (single-phase and three-phase).Develop motor designs considering voltage, current, torque, efficiency, thermal limits, and insulation class.
• Perform electromagnetic calculations, loss analysis, and efficiency optimization in line with IEC/IS standards.
• Select appropriate electrical materials such as copper conductors, insulation, varnishes, cables, and terminals.

2. Standards & Compliance

• Ensure designs comply with applicable standards such as IEC, IS (BIS), NEMA, and customer-specific specifications.
• Support energy-efficiency compliance (e.g., IE2/IE3/IE4 where applicable).
• Prepare technical documentation required for statutory approvals and certifications.

3. Testing & Validation

• Define and support type testing, routine testing, and performance testing of submersible motors.
• Analyze test results related to electrical performance, temperature rise, insulation resistance, and dielectric strength.
• Conduct root cause analysis for electrical failures and recommend corrective actions.

4. Manufacturing & Cross-Functional Support

• Collaborate with production, quality, and sourcing teams to ensure designs are manufacturable and cost-effective.
• Support production during pilot runs, process validation, and issue resolution.
• Assist in vendor development and technical evaluation of electrical components.

5. Design Documentation & Change Management

• Prepare and maintain electrical drawings, winding diagrams, specifications, and BOMs.
• Implement engineering change requests (ECR/ECO) and maintain revision control.
• Ensure accurate documentation in ERP/PLM systems.

6. Continuous Improvement & Innovation

• Participate in value engineering, cost reduction, and product improvement initiatives.
• Track field performance and customer feedback to improve reliability and durability.
• Stay updated with emerging technologies in motor efficiency, insulation systems, and electrical materials.
