Job Title : Electrical Design Engineer Department : Design & Engineering Location : Atlas Transformers India Limited (Por,GIDC) Experience: 2 to 4 Years in Transformers Industry Industry : Transformer Manufacturing Power & Distribution Job Summary The Electrical Design Engineer is responsible for designing and developing electrical specifications for power and distribution transformers to meet customer requirements, industry standards, and manufacturing capabilities. This role involves preparing detailed electrical designs, calculations, and technical documentation, while closely coordinating with mechanical design, production, quality, and sales teams. The engineer ensures that transformer designs are optimized for performance, reliability, cost-efficiency, and compliance with international and regional standards (IEC, IEEE, ANSI, IS, etc.). Key Responsibilities Transformer Electrical Design: Design power and distribution transformers (typically from 11kV to 765kV or as required), including single-phase and three-phase units. Develop electrical design parameters such as voltage, current, impedance, vector group, insulation levels, short-circuit withstand capability, temperature rise, and cooling methods (ONAN, ONAF, KNAN, etc.). Select appropriate core material, winding configurations (layer, helical, disc), tap changer types (OLTC/DETC), and insulation systems based on application and customer specs. Design Calculations and Analysis: Perform detailed design calculations for core size, winding losses, load losses, no-load losses, impedance, reactance, eddy currents, and thermal behavior. Use simulation tools for magnetic and electrical field analysis (e.g., FEM, Flux, or ANSYS). Evaluate hotspot temperature rise and cooling effectiveness for transformers under different load conditions. Preparation of Technical Documentation: Create complete transformer electrical design documents, including: Electrical design sheets GTP (Guaranteed Technical Particulars) Loss calculations Thermal and impedance analysis Rating and nameplate details SLDs (Single Line Diagrams) Generate BOM (Bill of Materials) and support ERP integration. Customer and Project Support: Analyze customer specifications, tender documents, and grid codes to design compliant transformers. Provide technical support to the sales team for pre-bid design and cost estimation. Communicate with clients and consultants to resolve technical queries and finalize designs. Coordination with Cross-functional Teams: Work closely with mechanical design engineers to ensure integration of electrical and mechanical parameters. Support the production team during manufacturing, including clarification of winding arrangements, tap lead routing, insulation layouts, and assembly sequences. Assist the testing team during routine, type, and special tests by providing key design parameters and interpreting results. Standards and Compliance: Ensure all designs comply with applicable international and national standards (IEC, IS, ANSI, IEEE). Stay updated on revisions to technical standards and implement changes in design practices accordingly. Support quality audits and product certifications by furnishing required technical documentation. Innovation and Continuous Improvement: Participate in R&D projects for design optimization, loss reduction, and performance enhancement. Contribute to standardization of design processes and templates to improve efficiency and reduce lead times. Implement cost-effective design improvements without compromising product quality or reliability. Required Qualifications Education: B.E. / B.Tech / M.E. / M.Tech in Electrical Engineering or Power Systems Experience: 310 years of experience in electrical design of power/distribution transformers (customized or standard range) Technical Skills: Strong knowledge of transformer theory, magnetic circuit design, winding design, and loss evaluation Familiarity with electrical design and simulation software (e.g., MATLAB, Maxwell, FEMM, ANSYS, AutoCAD Electrical) Proficient in interpreting technical drawings and electrical schematics Sound knowledge of standards: IEC 60076 series, ANSI/IEEE C57 series, IS 2026 series Key Competencies Analytical thinking and attention to detail Strong problem-solving and technical decision-making skills Effective communication (oral and written) for interdepartmental and client coordination Time management and ability to handle multiple projects concurrently Collaborative team player with leadership potential Working Conditions Primarily office-based role with frequent visits to production, testing, and inspection areas May require occasional travel to customer sites, vendor locations, or for technical discussions Requires flexibility to support urgent design modifications or customer demands on short notice Desirable Additions Experience with special transformer designs such as: Rectifier transformers, furnace transformers, autotransformers, dry-type transformers, or reactors Exposure to grid connectivity studies or harmonic analysis Understanding of ERP systems (SAP, Oracle) and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) tools Participation in type testing or failure analysis reviews at utilities or OEMs Skills: standards compliance,design,electrical design software,electrical design,technical documentation,transformer design,transformer,simulation tools Show more Show less
