Medium Voltage Switchgear Design & Testing Engineer

Company Description

Nuventura India Pvt Ltd is dedicated to creating a future where the energy we use does not harm our planet. Concerned about the environmental impact of SF6, a gas with high global warming potential found in medium voltage switchgear, Nuventura was established in July 2017. The company developed and tested new technology, and has since secured licensing and pilot partners for operation. Nuventura has expanded its presence in India to support the parent company and various partners in SEA and India, and to become a Climate KIC Accelerator.

Role Description

Lead the design, modeling, and implementation of protection and control schemes for medium- and high voltage switchgear and substation automation systems.

Develop relay protection philosophies, single-line diagrams (SLD), protection logic diagrams, and coordination studies to ensure grid stability and fault clearance reliability.

Perform relay selection, configuration, and logic programming for protection applications such as:

o Distance Protection

Differential Protection (Transformer, Busbar, Line, Generator)

o Overcurrent & Earth Fault Protection

o Voltage & Frequency Protection

Use EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical, and MATLAB Simulink to design detailed electrical schematics, control diagrams, and system wiring layouts.

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering, or related field.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in design, configuration, and testing of medium voltage (MV) switchgear systems.

Technical Skills

• Proficiency in

  AutoCAD

  for electrical schematics and panel design.
• Strong knowledge of

  medium voltage switchgear (up to 36 kV or higher)

  , including circuit breakers, disconnectors, CTs, PTs, and interlocks.
• Experience in

  protection relay logic design, configuration, and testing

  (e.g., Siemens, ABB, Schneider, GE, or SEL relays).
• Ability to design

  protection and control schemes

  , including trip logic, interlocking logic, and automation sequences.
• Hands-on experience with

  relay test kits

  (preferably

  OMICRON CMC

  or equivalent).
• Familiarity with

  IEC and ANSI standards

  for MV switchgear design and protection.
• Knowledge of

  SCADA/communication protocols

  (IEC 61850, Modbus).
• Understanding of

  arc-flash safety

  , grounding practices, and insulation coordination.

Project & Analytical Skills

• Strong ability to

  analyze project requirements

  and translate them into protection and control logic.
• Experience preparing

  wiring diagrams, logic diagrams, and BOMs

  .
• Ability to

  troubleshoot, test, and commission

  MV panels and relays on-site.
• Basic knowledge of

  power system studies

  (short-circuit, load flow, protection coordination) is an advantage.

Preferred

• Experience with

  EPLAN

  or other electrical design software
• Familiarity with

  factory acceptance tests (FAT)

  and

  site acceptance tests (SAT)

  procedures.
