Senior Electrical Design Engineer – LV Switchgear

(Senior Individual Contributor Role)

We are looking for a Senior Electrical Design Engineer – LV Switchgear who will operate as a senior individual contributor, taking end-to-end ownership of LV switchgear design activities while also mentoring and technically guiding junior engineers. This role requires a high level of technical maturity, independent decision-making, and regular interaction with customers and internal stakeholders.

The position is hands-on in nature and is not a people-management role, but carries responsibility equivalent to an Assistant-Manager level in terms of technical ownership and accountability.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and lead the complete design lifecycle of LV switchgear panels including PCC, MCC, APFC, and Distribution Boards.
• Prepare, review, and release SLDs, control schematics, GA drawings, wiring diagrams, and panel layouts with minimal supervision.
• Develop, validate, and optimize Bills of Materials (BOM) ensuring accuracy, cost effectiveness, and manufacturability.
• Ensure full compliance with IEC 61439, project specifications, internal standards, and applicable electrical codes.
• Define, review, and validate protection schemes, interlocking logic, and control philosophies.
• Perform and review load calculations, short-circuit studies, and thermal evaluations.
• Act as the technical interface with customers, consultants, and project teams for clarifications, approvals, and technical deviations.
• Coordinate closely with Manufacturing, Procurement, QA/QC, and Project teams to ensure design intent is correctly executed.
• Support and lead FAT, internal design reviews, customer inspections, and audits.
• Drive design standardization, value engineering, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Mentor and technically groom junior engineers through design reviews and best-practice sharing, while remaining hands-on.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• B.E./B.Tech in Electrical Engineering or equivalent discipline.
• 15-20 years of proven hands-on experience in LV switchgear design and engineering.
• Strong exposure to PCC, MCC, APFC, and Distribution Boards.
• Proficiency in SEE Electrical / ePLAN / AutoCAD Electrical.
• In-depth knowledge of IEC 61439, LV system design, and protection coordination.
• Strong understanding of ACBs, MCCBs, contactors, protection relays, meters, CTs, APFC components, and accessories.
• Experience with APFC panel design, including detuned reactors and harmonic mitigation (preferred).
• Exposure to ERP systems for BOM control and engineering change management is an advantage.
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple parallel projects, and take technical ownership.
• Strong communication skills for customer and consultant interactions.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor junior engineers without formal people-management responsibility.
