An electrical engineer in a transformer role designs, tests, and optimizes transformers by performing calculations, creating technical drawings, and collaborating with manufacturing to ensure compliance with industry standards and client needs. Responsibilities include creating prototypes, analyzing designs, solving technical issues, documenting specifications, and providing technical support to various teams and customers.
Key Responsibilities
Design & Development: Design and develop various types of transformers, including power, distribution, and custom magnetics, ensuring they meet specific requirements for voltage, current, and efficiency.
Modeling & Simulation: Use CAD and simulation software to create models, run analyses, and optimize designs for performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
Testing & Validation: Conduct performance and safety testing on prototypes, including thermal, dielectric, and short-circuit tests, to validate designs against specifications.
Technical Documentation: Prepare and maintain comprehensive documentation, such as design specifications, electrical calculations, technical drawings, Bill of Materials (BOMs), and test reports.
Manufacturing Support: Oversee the manufacturing and assembly processes, providing technical guidance to ensure product quality and efficiency.
Compliance & Standards: Ensure designs and products comply with relevant national and international industry standards (e.g., IEC, ANSI, IEEE) and regulatory requirements.
Customer & Sales Support: Collaborate with sales and customers to understand requirements, provide technical solutions, prepare quotations, and support technical discussions during sales and project phases.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with other teams, including mechanical engineers, quality assurance, and service departments, to ensure integrated and optimized transformer designs.
Continuous Improvement: Evaluate and improve existing transformer designs and processes to reduce costs, enhance performance, and implement new technologies.
