R&D Electrical Engineer

We are seeking a skilled R&D Electrical Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for a wide range of engineering functions involving the design and development of high voltage Bus System products and develop new and improved designs. As industry standards continue to adapt, you'll support the research and development function to improve or enhance existing designs, and to ensure that the HV Bus product line remains current with industry requirements.

This position is based on site in Medway, MA.

YOU HAVE:

• EDUCATION: Minimum BSEE or BS Physics with 3 years' experience in the design and development of transmission voltage electrical equipment. Familiarity with IEC, ANSI, and NEMA standards relating to SF6 and non-SF6 products and pressure vessels.

• EXPERIENCE: Experience with power systems engineering and testing techniques including dielectric, continuous current and short circuit current. Experience using Electro, Coulomb, COMSOL or similar software to perform electrical stress analysis on electrical components including insulators.

• SKILLS: AutoCAD or Inventor experience required. Ability to apply mathematical operations to such tasks as frequency distribution, determination of electrical stress test reliability and validity, analysis of variance, correlation techniques, sampling theory, and factor analysis.

WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE IN THIS POSITION:

• Specific Technical responsibilities may include: Detailed electrical design to support specific customer requirements, Dielectric design and analysis of HV Bus components and systems using finite element computer models and hand calculations. Dielectric design using specific properties and performance parameters for SF6 and non-SF6 dielectric systems, and provide expert support for the electrical parameters used for HV Bus design and have a working knowledge and basic skills in the structural and mechanical aspects of the product.

• Design of HV BUS systems for and electrical design parameters. Tasks include design, drafting follow and development of testing parameters.

• Perform electrical stress analysis on components and modify shapes to reduce and minimize electrical stresses.
