Purpose: To design and develop Wire and Cable products that meet performance, safety, and regulatory standards. The role involves engineering cable constructions, selecting optimal materials, performing simulations, and ensuring manufacturability and compliance with global standards. Experience: - - 10-12 years in cable design and development within the wire and cables industry with a strong focus on LV, MV, HV, and specialty cable applications. - Proven expertise in end-to-end cable design, including conductor configuration, insulation and sheathing selection, and compliance with IS, UL and all other standards. - Hands-on experience in material engineering, evaluating conductor and insulation properties such as tensile strength, heat resistance, temperature tolerance, and weight optimization. - Demonstrated ability to perform thermal, electrical, and mechanical simulations using tools like ETAP, CYMCAP, AutoCAD, and SolidWorks to validate design integrity and performance. Roles and Responsibilities: - 1. Cable Design & Engineering - Design various kind of Copper wire and cables including conductor configuration, insulation thickness, shielding, and sheathing. - Engineer cable constructions for House wire, Power cables, Instrumentation cables and Solar cables. - Ensure compliance with IS, IEC, UL, BS, and IEEE standards in all design outputs. 2. Material Engineering & Selection - Evaluate and select conductor materials (e.g., Copper) based on mechanical strength, conductivity, and weight optimization. - Choose insulation and sheathing compounds (e.g., PVC, XLPE, LSZH, HFFR) considering heat retardance, temperature bearing capacity, flame resistance, and environmental durability. - Collaborate with procurement and quality teams to validate material specifications and vendor capabilities. 3. Simulation & Performance Analysis - Use AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and other CAD tools for cross-sectional design and layout. - Perform thermal, electrical, and mechanical simulations using ETAP, CYMCAP, or equivalent tools. - Analyze cable performance under stress conditions including tensile load, thermal cycling, and environmental exposure. 4. Standards Compliance & Documentation - Ensure all designs meet applicable national and international standards. - Prepare and maintain design documentation, BOMs, datasheets, and compliance reports. - Support audits and customer approvals with detailed technical documentation. 5. Testing & Validation - Coordinate prototype testing for parameters such as heat resistance, elongation, UV stability, and flame retardance. - Analyze test results and iterate designs to meet performance benchmarks. - Support failure analysis and corrective design actions. 6. Cross-functional Collaboration - Work with production, sales, and marketing teams to translate customer requirements into manufacturable designs. - Provide technical support during customer interactions, tenders, and product approvals.
