- 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
