Description
Senior Switchgear Electrical Engineer – Medium & Low Voltage (MV/LV)
Role Summary
The Senior Switchgear Engineer (MV/LV) is responsible for the design, engineering, validation, and technical leadership of medium- and low-voltage switchgear systems. This role provides subject-matter expertise across the full product lifecycle—from concept and specification through manufacturing, testing, installation support, and commissioning—while ensuring compliance with applicable standards, customer requirements, and safety regulations.
Key Responsibilities
Technical & Engineering
Lead the design and engineering of MV (typically 1 kV–36 kV) and LV (≤1 kV) switchgear systems, including air-insulated (AIS) and gas-insulated (GIS) solutions where applicable.
Develop electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, GA drawings, and protection & control philosophies.
Specify and select components such as circuit breakers, contactors, relays, busbars, CTs/VTs, protection devices, and interlocking systems.
Perform electrical calculations including short-circuit, protection coordination, arc-flash, thermal, and dielectric analyses.
Ensure designs meet performance, reliability, maintainability, and safety requirements.
Standards & Compliance
Ensure compliance with relevant international and regional standards (e.g., IEC, IEEE, ANSI, UL, NFPA, NEC, CSA).
Support product certification, type testing, routine testing, and factory acceptance testing (FAT).
Maintain awareness of evolving industry standards, codes, and best practices.
Project & Customer Support
Act as technical lead on assigned projects, supporting sales, proposals, and customer technical clarifications.
Interface directly with customers, consultants, utilities, and inspectors to resolve technical issues.
Review customer specifications and translate requirements into compliant engineering solutions.
Provide on-site technical support during installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting as needed.
Manufacturing & Quality
Collaborate with manufacturing, supply chain, and quality teams to ensure manufacturability and cost-effective designs.
Support root cause analysis and corrective actions for quality, reliability, or field issues.
Drive continuous improvement initiatives related to design efficiency, standardization, and product robustness.
Leadership & Mentoring
Mentor and guide junior engineers and designers as/when needed.
Review and approve engineering deliverables.
Contribute to technical documentation, design guidelines, and engineering best practices.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
8–12+ years of experience in MV/LV switchgear design or electrical power systems.
Strong knowledge of protection and control systems.
Hands-on experience with switchgear testing, commissioning, or field support.
Proficiency with engineering tools (e.g., AutoCAD, EPLAN, ETAP, SKM, or equivalent).
In-depth understanding of electrical safety principles and arc-flash mitigation.
Mandarin speaking abilities are a strong plus, but not mandatory
