Manager (MG2) - Application Engineering PG Department- Research & Development Business Unit - Khadki

We are seeking an experienced and vision-driven Manager – Application Engineering Power Generation Electrical Design to lead our electrical product design team. In this role, you will be responsible for end-to-end electrical design execution for diesel, gas, and hybrid generator sets (Gensets) ranging high-power industrial and utility-scale units. You will lead cross-functional projects, managing the detailed design, selection, and integration of critical electrical subsystems, including control panels, power breaker panels/switchgear, and heavy-duty wiring harnesses . Key Responsibilities 1.

Responsibilities

• & Project Management Lead, mentor, and build a team of electrical hardware engineers, harness designers, and panel layout draftspersons.
• Act as the technical lead for generator set electrical architecture across New Product Introduction (NPI), and value engineering (VAVE) initiatives.
• Drive project schedules, design milestones, design reviews, and cost targets for all electrical deliverables.
• 2.
• Control Panel & Automation Design Oversee the design, engineering, and logic implementation of Genset Control Panels (MCP / DCP).
• Architect systems integrating micro-controller-based Genset controllers (e.g., Deep Sea, ComAp, Woodward, Deif).
• Standardize instrumentation, protection relays, communication protocols (CANbus, J1939, Modbus, Ethernet), and IoT remote monitoring telemetry systems.
• 3.
• Breaker Panel & Power Distribution Design Lead the design and selection of power breaker panels, Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS), and Motorized Paralleling Breakers (ACB/MCCB).
• Calculate busbar cross-sections, short-circuit ratings, temperature rise, and cable sizing for high-current applications.
• Ensure proper selection and integration of current transformers (CTs), potential transformers (PTs), surge protection (SPD), and neutral grounding resistors (NGR).
• 4.
• Wiring Harness & Routing Engineering Direct the design of low-voltage DC control harnesses, engine sensor harnesses, and AC power distribution wiring.
• Standardize harness components including heavy-duty industrial/automotive connectors (Deutsch, Amphenol), terminal blocks, conduits, and protective sleeving.
• Ensure harness design accounts for thermal isolation, vibration resistance, electromagnetic interference (EMI/EMC), and ingress protection (IP ratings).
• 5.
• Compliance, Testing & Quality Ensure all designs strictly comply with global and regional electrical standards (e.g., IEC 61439, ISO 8528, CE, IEEE ).
• Prototype Build, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Type Testing, thermal rise testing, short-circuit testing, and EMI/EMC validation.
• Champion Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and 8D problem-solving processes for electrical field failures or quality issues.

Requirements

• & Technical Skills Education & Experience Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE), or equivalent.
• 8–12+ years in electrical design engineering, with at least 3–5 years in a leadership/management role within the Generator Set, Switchgear, Heavy Equipment, or Power Systems industries .
• & Tools Design & CAD Software: Proficiency in 2D/3D electrical CAD tools (e.g., EPLAN Electric P8, AutoCAD Electrical, Creo Harness / CATIA Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical).
• Deep working knowledge of Genset paralleling systems, load sharing, power management systems (PMS), and grid-tie grid protection.
• Hands-on ability to perform short-circuit calculations, protective device coordination studies, and thermal/voltage drop calculations.
• Strong leadership, project management, and cross-functional coordination skills.
• Strategic thinking with a continuous improvement and cost-optimization mindset.
• Excellent technical documentation and presentation skills.
