Job description

Mission

The primary objective of this role is to carry out the design engineering for the development of Low Voltage (LV) Circuit Breakers and associated accessories. The role focuses on delivering innovative, cost-effective, and standards‑compliant (IEC) solutions tailored to customer‑specific technical and market requirements. The candidate will be actively involved in all phases of the product development lifecycle, from concept through to production readiness.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop LV electrical distribution products in alignment with technical specifications and market needs.
• Lead the end‑to‑end product development process including design, prototyping, testing, documentation, and manufacturing readiness.
• Apply hands‑on expertise in LV products such as MCCBs, ACBs, switches and accessories.
• Conduct detailed engineering analysis using design fundamentals and tools (e.g., material strength, tolerance stack‑up, mechanism design).
• Utilize 3D CAD software (e.g., Pro/ENGINEER) for complex design feasibility studies and modelling.
• Demonstrate strong knowledge of manufacturing processes and tooling for both metallic and plastic components.
• Perform Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) evaluations, recommending alternative materials and production methods.
• Conduct design for reliability & robustness. Apply six sigma requirements like QFD, DFMEA, P‑Diagram.
• Manage prototype development, build, and testing activities.
• Conduct root cause analysis and implement corrective actions for design issues.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams including manufacturing, sourcing, finance, marketing, and suppliers to ensure design validation and production readiness.
• Define & carry out product qualification as well as validation testing. Support certification testing as per IEC testing (IEC 60947) using knowledge of standard, test procedure & acceptance criteria. Root cause analysis in case of failure.
• Maintain and update comprehensive product documentation including drawings, BOMs, and design guidelines.
• Develop and update product documentation including drawings, BOMs and design guides. Product release in PDM softwares.

Qualifications & Skills

• 5–8 years of experience in the design and development of low voltage electrical distribution devices / circuit breakers.
• Proven expertise in product design, production engineering, and value engineering.
• Understanding of product testing as per IEC 60947. Knowledge of test procedure, acceptance criteria.
• Knowledge of LV circuit breakers (ACB / MCCB), product costing, and quality standards.
• Knowledge on circuit breaker subsystems & design including mechanism, current path, arcing, venting etc.
• Understanding of manufacturing processes such as molding, casting, and assembly, including tooling design.
• Proficient in CAD/CAE tools (e.g., Pro/ENGINEER) and mechanism design with dimension chain analysis.
• Basic project management capabilities.
• Good communication and interpersonal skills; collaborate with global stakeholders.
• Self‑motivated, analytical, and solution‑oriented with a positive and persuasive approach.
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies is an added advantage.
