Core & Clamping Design Engineer - Power Transformer

Description

• Use 2D and 3D CAD software to model designs and individual parts to support the generation of 3D models, engineering drawings and prepare bills of material to support ordering of components like core clamps, tie-plates, top and bottom segments, winding supports, step blocks OD cooling parts, steel bandages etc.
• Developing a high-performance engineering team.
• Perform advanced calculations like structural analysis (eg. using ANSYS, CREO simulate)
• Supporting factory construction and process implementation.
• Support the core and clamping manufacturing processes, quality inspections, failure analysis, concessions on tolerances, vendor development and responding queries from suppliers.
• Coordinating all aspects of factory setup to ensure readiness for production.
• Collaborate on R&D projects for further product improvements.
• Prepare core cutting lists for cutting and slitting of cores for individual designs.
