• Leading the power supply engineering department and ensuring project implementation according to design and quality standards.

• Proposing power supply solutions that prioritize performance and reliability.

• Performing basic and detailed engineering activities, including electrical architectures, technical specifications, and interface specifications.

• Managing supplier evaluations, technical purchasing specifications, and factory acceptance tests.

• Providing technical support during construction, testing, and commissioning phases.

• Defining and performing verification and validation (V&V) strategies in collaboration with engineering, certification, and validation teams.

• Resolving technical issues on-site and ensuring timely problem closure.

• Providing inputs for as-built documentation and incorporating lessons learned into reference solutions.

• Coordinating with internal teams, customers, suppliers, and partners to ensure seamless project execution.

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

• 7-9 years of experience in electrical design, preferably in the railway sector.

• Experience in electrical power distribution design, including space program, cable routing, earthing design, equipment sizing, and calculations (e.g., voltage drop, short circuit, earthing, power factor, selectivity).

• Proficiency in using electrical design software tools such as ETAP, SKM, Ecodial, or E-design.

• Experience with drafting software such as AutoCAD or DraftSight.

• Knowledge of electrical power equipment specifications, including MVSGs, transformers, LV panels, cables, UPSs, and generators.

• Basic understanding of automation and communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, IEC61850, Ethernet IP).
