About the role
- Develop new products – medium-voltage instrument transformers and sensors – including product concept, numerical analysis and simulations, design documentation, as well as testing and characterization of the design in the labs with the help of the technical support staff.
- Create definitions of parts, sub-assemblies and top-level end items in the form of 2D drawings, 3D models, tolerance stack ups and various electronic data formats to support analysis, manufacturing, assembly, tooling and inspection; ensure compliance with established design guidelines for safety, manufacturing efficiency, quality and reliability.
- Facilitate design reviews for product parts and assemblies during the development and industrialization process; work as a part of the cross functional teams including manufacturing, sourcing, global engineering and systems engineering in developing and on-going support of state-of-the-art medium voltage control and protection devices.
- Protect inventions following ABB intellectual property guidelines; ability to travel is required, estimate 10 to 15 percent travel (domestic as well as international).
Requirements
- Master’s degree in science (MSc) in Electrical Engineering with a minimum of 2 years of experience or Bachelor’s degree in science (BSc) in Electrical Engineering with a minimum of 4 years of experience in medium or high voltage products development.
- Sound knowledge of FEM dielectric, electromagnetic, structural, thermal and CFD numerical simulations.
- Good understanding of electrotechnical material properties, behavior and applications.
- Basic experience with electrical devices testing and troubleshooting.
- Experience with new products industrialization process preferred.
- Sound knowledge of SolidWorks (or similar CAD tool) – 3D modeling, 2D drawings preferred.
- Experience with medium-voltage or high-voltage power network devices preferred.
Benefits
- Health insurance
