Job description

Job Description Summary

We are looking for a talented Power Transformer Electrical Designer to join our team at GE Vernoa Vadodara (Large Transformer India). This role requires a skilled designer with a solid foundation in power transformer and shunt reactor electrical design, including internal connections; a strong background in transformer test requirements including DIL (Design Insulation Level) chart preparation and basic knowledge of design tools like DFMEA. An understanding of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools would be an advantage. The position may require occasional travel for project‑related activities.

In this role, the candidate will support detailed electrical design, contribute to tender proposals, ensure compliance with international standards, and assist in design optimization using modern engineering tools.

Key Responsibilities

• Detail design electrical process for power transformers and shunt reactors, focusing on internal connections, performance optimization, overall system functionality.
• Drawing of insulation structure, prepare bill of material, ordering specification, DIL & clearance chart, and review with cross‑functional teams.
• Contribute to tender proposals, understand and summarize customer requirements, and optimize electrical design of transformers and reactors.
• Ensure that designs adhere to various standards and regulations such as IS, ISO, IEC, IEEE, and other industry‑specific guidelines.
• Contribute to Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (DFMEA) to assess potential risks and design weaknesses, ensuring corrective actions are implemented.
• Apply FEA tools (experience with tools like ANSYS is a plus) to simulate and evaluate key parameters such as electromagnetic fields, thermal performance, and mechanical stress within transformer and reactor designs.
• Work closely with internal engineering teams, external suppliers, and clients to ensure integration of electrical designs with other systems and provide technical support as needed.
• Maintain detailed records of design specifications, reports, and compliance with industry standards. Document any changes to designs, materials, and processes.
• Travel Requirements: Occasional travel to project sites, customer locations, or partner facilities for design reviews, installation, troubleshooting, and support.

Qualifications

• Educational Requirements: Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or a related field.
• Professional Experience:
  • Minimum of 3‑5 years of experience in electrical design, specifically with power transformers and shunt reactors.
• Technical Expertise:
  • Strong understanding of power transformer and shunt reactor electrical design principles.
  • Familiarity with national or international standards such as IS, ISO, IEC, IEEE, and others.
  • Familiar with DFMEA and failure analysis (RCA) to improve design quality and prevent issues.
  • Knowledge of FEA tools is an advantage (e.g., ANSYS, COMSOL).
  • Familiarity with international & national EHS norms.
  • Familiarity with Lean concepts such as Kaizen, 5S, and problem‑solving tools.
• Language Skills: Fluency in English is required.

Desired Skills and Attributes

• Proactive and adaptable approach, with the ability to learn new tools and technologies to stay ahead of industry trends.
• Attention to detail and commitment to quality in all design work.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a cross‑functional team environment, interacting with engineers, suppliers, and clients.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to evaluate complex design challenges and propose effective solutions.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to articulate technical concepts to a diverse audience.
