Power Transformer Internal connection (Cleats & Leads) Design Engineer

We make real what matters. This is your role:

The facility is planned to be built by early 2026 for production commencement. Consequently, the first part of the journey in this role in our Company will involve coordinating the construction, and the implementation of new processes, as well as participating with the development of a high-performance team and coordinating all aspects of the factory setup to prepare for production. In the interim, there may be international travel for training at other Siemens-Energy facilities.

This role is for individual contributor, responsible for preparing Cleats & Leads (Internal connection) design of Power transformers as well as achieve design innovations and the optimization of the end products in compliance to Siemens Energy design rules, quality standards, cost position and time schedule at Siemens Energy Transformers Factory at Charlotte, North Carolina, USA.

Your Tasks & Responsibilities are as below:

• Perform mechanical design, development and analysis of the Cleats & Leads (Internal connection) design of Large Power/Auto/Generator transformers (upto 500MVA, 550kV) and its sub-assemblies and components.
• Use 2D and 3D CAD software to model designs and individual parts to support the generation of engineering drawings and bills of material.
• Effectively communicate among cross functional teams and participate in various internal and external technical forums.
• Extend support for the development of global design rules & R&D efforts on the need basis.
• Collaborate with other departments like electrical design, manufacturing, Quality, testing & purchase departments on technical topics related to Leads design.

Requirement for this role:

• Bachelors or Masters Degree in mechanical or electrical engineering
• 6+ years working experience as a power transformer internal connection (cleats and leads) design engineer.
• Indepth knowledge and experience of preparation of internal layout, electrical clearances, magnetic distances, routing of leads inside tank, design of supports, coordinating lead exits with winding assembly.
• Able to apply electrostatic/dielectric design concepts for high voltage leads and electromagnetic concepts for high current leads.
• Knowledge of components used in internal connections like cables, bus-bars, HV lead exits, terminals, insulation supports, insulation papers, bushings, tapchangers etc.
• Basic knowledge of special processes like crimping and brazing
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Advanced user of 3D CAD software (eg. CREO/PROe/Inventor/UG), PDM Link/Teamcentre, 2D CAD (eg. AUTOCAD), advanced dielectric (high voltage) FEM simulations (eg. ELECTRO, CST Studio, Infolytica) and electromagnetic FEM simulations (eg. MagNET, FEMM)

Key Skills:

• Excellent written and verbal communication in English is necessary.
• Self-motivated to produce high quality results within the time allocated, with limited supervision
• Effective co-ordination with manufacturing, suppliers, and customer

• Experience with SAP is an added advantage
