• Prepare electrical design documentation and calculations 

• Ensure performance, reliability, and efficiency targets are met 

• Perform design analysis using design software/simulation tools (e.g., SoftTeam / VIT programs or equivalent) 

Advanced Calculations & Theoretical Application 

• Perform extensive calculations: losses, impedance, efficiency, short-circuit and thermal considerations 

• Apply strong theoretical knowledge to validate designs 

• Evaluate alternative design approaches for optimization 

Tendering & Proposal Engineering 

• Support quotation and tendering activities 

• Develop preliminary designs for competitive bidding 

• Align technical solutions with commercial requirements 

Specification Interpretation 

• Interpret customer specifications and requirements 

• Ensure compliance with IEC, ANSI/IEEE, ISO standards 

Cross-Functional Coordination 

• Coordinate with mechanical and control teams 

• Work with sales, PMO, manufacturing, and testing teams 

Testing & Execution Support 

• Support FAT, routine, and type testing 

• Resolve design issues during execution 

Costing, Optimization & Commercial Awareness 

• Contribute to electrical costing for tendering and execution 

• Evaluate cost impact of materials, losses, and design choices 

• Support cost-performance trade-offs and optimization 

• Work with procurement for cost benchmarking 

• Provide inputs for budgetary and detailed costing 

Required Skills & Competencies
