Technical Leader - Circuit Breaker

About the Role

The primary objective of this role is to lead the engineering efforts for the development of Low Voltage (LV) Moldedcase Circuit Breakers , associated accessories & components. The role focuses on delivering innovative, cost-effective, and standards-compliant solutions tailored to customer-specific technical and market requirements. The candidate will be actively involved in all phases of the product and Part development lifecycle, from concept through to production readiness.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop LV electrical distribution products in alignment with technical specifications and market needs.
• Lead the end-to-end product development process including design, prototyping, testing, documentation, and manufacturing readiness.
• Apply hands-on expertise in LV products such as MCCBs, ACBs, contactors, thermal relays, and accessories (e.g., rotary handles, motor mechanisms, trip units).
• Conduct detailed engineering analysis using design fundamentals and tools (e.g., material strength, tolerance stack-up, mechanism design).
• Utilize 3D CAD software (e.g., Pro/ENGINEER) for complex design feasibility studies and modeling.
• Demonstrate strong knowledge of manufacturing processes and tooling for both metallic and plastic components.
• Perform Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) evaluations, recommending alternative materials and production methods

Preferred candidate profile

• Bachelors degree (B.E./B.Tech) in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering from a reputed institution.
• 815 years of experience in the design and development of low voltage electrical distribution devices.
• Proven expertise in product design, production engineering, and value engineering.
• In-depth knowledge of LV circuit breakers (MCCB, ACB), product costing, and quality standards.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes such as molding, casting, and assembly, including tooling design.
• Proficient in CAD/CAE tools (e.g., Pro/ENGINEER) and mechanism design with dimension chain analysis.
• Demonstrated project and design management capabilities.
