Oversee the design and integration of Auto Mains Failure (AMF) panels, Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS), and base-level synchronizing panels for the upper-capacity range (100–250 kVA).

Direct value engineering initiatives for high-volume consumer/light-commercial segments to reduce electrical component costs without compromising safety or reliability.

Bridge electrical and mechanical engineering teams to ensure flawless integration of alternators, wiring routing, and sensors with both small-block and medium-block engines.

Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, or a closely related field.

Experience: 10+ years of hands-on experience in the power generation industry, specifically dealing with Light to Medium capacity gensets, with at least 3-4 years in a managerial role.

Domain Expertise: Deep understanding of the specific operational profiles across the 2.4 kW to 250 kVA range (e.g., varying power factors, single-phase vs. three-phase distinct design rules, inrush current handling).
