Senior Transformer Mechanical Design & Short-Circuit Expert

Virginia Transformer Corp; Muscle Shoals (AL); Vor Ort; USD 120.000 - 180.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Virginia Transformer Corp in Muscle Shoals, AL, seeks a Senior Mechanical Design & Short-Circuit Withstand Expert to lead mechanical strength analyses for large oil-immersed transformers up to 250 MVA and 230 kV. You will drive windings, tanks, and core-and-coil assemblies toward robust, fault-tolerant designs.

Ideal candidates bring 12–15+ years in transformer mechanical design, advanced FEA skills (ANSYS/Abaqus), and a proven track record in supporting manufacturing, testing, and reliability

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering required, with advanced degrees preferred.
• 12–15+ years of mechanical design/structural analysis experience with large transformers.
• Experience with short-circuit withstand calculations and transformer windings.

Aufgaben

• Short-Circuit Withstand: calculate axial/radial winding forces during faults.
• Winding mechanical strength: assess buckling, hoop stress, and clamping.
• Core-and-coil design: analyze core frames, yoke beams, and supports.
• Lead internal structures: evaluate leads, clamps, supports under fault loads.
• Tank structural analysis: vacuum/pressure, welding, and deformation checks.
• Seismic/transport/dynamic load analysis and verification.
• FEA modeling validation and cross-functional collaboration.
