Sr. Electrical Engineer
Dry-Type Distribution Transformers
Position Summary:
The Electrical Engineer is responsible for the design, development, and ongoing support of dry-type electrical distribution transformers. Working across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and commercial functions, this role takes products from concept through production launch, ensures compliance with industry standards, and drives continuous improvement in safety, quality, delivery, and cost. The position also serves as a technical resource for customers and suppliers and as a mentor to junior engineers and technicians.
Key Responsibilities:
Design and Engineering. The Electrical Engineer designs and develops dry-type electrical distribution transformers, performing the electrical calculations and analysis required for core and coil design, impedance, loss evaluation, thermal performance, short-circuit withstand capability, voltage regulation, and efficiency optimization. The role develops and reviews transformer drawings, schematics, bills of materials (BOMs), and engineering documentation, and interprets and applies customer specifications, technical standards, and regulatory requirements. The engineer supports new product introduction (NPI) initiatives from concept through production launch and evaluates design alternatives for manufacturability, reliability, performance, and cost efficiency.
Manufacturing and Operations Support. This position partners closely with Manufacturing Engineering and Operations to improve product quality, throughput, and operational efficiency, and provides technical support to production teams during transformer assembly, testing, and troubleshooting. Responsibilities include conducting root cause analysis and corrective action for product failures and field issues, reviewing and resolving production non-conformance and engineering deviations, and assisting with the implementation of engineering changes and the maintenance of configuration control processes. The engineer also contributes to continuous improvement efforts focused on safety, quality, delivery, and cost reduction, including Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma initiatives.
Testing and Compliance. The engineer supports electrical testing activities, including routine, design validation, heat run, impulse, and short-circuit testing, and analyzes the resulting data to prepare technical reports and recommendations. The role ensures that products comply with applicable industry standards and regulations, including IEEE, ANSI, NEMA, UL, CSA, and DOE efficiency requirements. Experience with other standards like IEC, BS will be added advantage but not mandatory.
Customer and Cross-Functional Collaboration. The Electrical Engineer interfaces with customers, suppliers, and internal cross-functional teams on technical requirements and product solutions, and participates in customer meetings and technical reviews as required. The role collaborates with Quality to investigate warranty claims and customer concerns, and provides engineering support to Sales and Commercial teams during quotation and bid review.
Leadership and Strategic Initiatives. The engineer mentors junior engineers and engineering technicians and supports strategic initiatives involving product standardization, cost optimization, and innovation.
Qualifications:
Education. A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering is required; a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering is preferred.
Experience. Candidates must have at least five years of progressive engineering experience in the dry-type electrical distribution transformer industry, including direct experience with dry-type transformers. Experience with medium-voltage and low-voltage transformer design is strongly preferred. Experience supporting manufacturing operations in a high-volume industrial environment, as well as prior work in sustaining engineering, product development, or R&D engineering, is also preferred.
Technical Knowledge. The successful candidate will bring a strong understanding of electromagnetic theory, transformer design principles, electrical power systems, thermal dynamics, insulation systems, and short-circuit analysis, along with knowledge of transformer materials such as copper and aluminum windings, core steel, insulation systems, and dielectric fluids. Proficiency in electrical calculations and engineering analysis tools is expected, as is experience interpreting and applying IEEE, ANSI, and NEMA standards and DOE efficiency regulations.
Software and Systems. Candidates should be familiar with ERP and engineering systems and having working knowledge of tools such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks or Creo, MATLAB, ETAP, ANSYS Maxwell, SAP, Oracle, or other ERP platforms, and the Microsoft Office Suite.
Professional Competencies. The ideal candidate demonstrates strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, excellent verbal and written communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities at once. They work collaboratively across functions, can influence and drive continuous improvement, and bring a customer-focused mindset with strong attention to detail. A demonstrated ability to mentor and develop junior engineering talent and a high level of accountability and ownership are essential.
