Senior Electrical Engineer

CMI (Central Moloney) has been a trailblazer in manufacturing distribution transformers and transformer components since 1949. The Senior Electrical Engineer will play a key role in the design and development of distribution transformers, ensuring compliance with industry standards and improving product design and testing.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop and review electrical specifications for distribution transformers, ensuring compliance with IEEE, CSA, DOE, and customer requirements
• Develop and review electrical designs for distribution transformers including core type and sizing, coil designs, switch and tap selector components and connections, etc. as needed for custom and non-standard configurations
• Perform electrical calculations, including impedance, losses, efficiency, insulation and fuse coordination, and short-circuit strength
• Utilize engineering software (proprietary transformer design tools and in specific cases software as ANSYS, MATLAB, or similar) electrical modeling and simulation
• Participate in design reviews and analysis related to product performance and manufacturability
• Participate and support new product development and improvement initiatives to maintain market competitiveness of company products and solutions
• Ensure designs meet applicable industry regulations and standards including applicable utility and customer specifications
• Stay updated on evolving industry standards, participating in and representing the company on industrial committees and technical events as required
• Support all electrical certification and testing requirements, including dielectric, loss and efficiency and short circuit performance
• Work closely with design engineers and other team members to validate design requirements
• Participate in process improvement initiatives to enhance departmental efficiencies and output quality
• Provide technical support to manufacturing and assembly teams, including winding specifications, component/material selection, and hook-up requirements
• Support customers with technical inquiries, offering guidance on application and performance requirements
• Provide technical support during prototype builds, production, and customer testing
• Participate in pre-order and post-order design reviews to confirm technical compliance and mitigate risks

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree, or higher, in electrical engineering or a related field
• 10+ years of experience in engineering within a manufacturing environment in transformer manufacturing
• Proficiency in engineering design and analysis tools (e.g., CAD, FEA, simulation software, etc.) as well as productivity and ERP software
• Proficiency in distribution transformer design, associated manufacturing processes, and application of applicable industry standards such as ANSI, IEEE, IEC, CSA
• Understanding of mechanical fabrication and related systems
• Strong project management skills with the ability to handle multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with an ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and vice versa
• Ability to lead diverse teams and foster collaboration across departments and disciplines as needed
