This position reports to:
R&D Leader - Grid Components

Your role and responsibilities

In this role, you will have the opportunity to contribute to ABB's success with technology, software, product, and system development. Each day, you will identify and implement innovative solutions to relevant problems. You will also showcase your expertise by providing ideas and by being able to work both independently and as a part of a Research & Development (R&D) team.

The work model for the role is: onsite #LI-onsite

This role is contributing to the EL Distribution Solutions in Pinetops, NC or Mebane, NC.

You will be mainly accountable for:
• Develop new products - medium-voltage instrument transformers and sensors - including product concept, numerical analysis and simulations, design documentation, as well as testing and characterization of the design in the labs with the help of the technical support staff.
• Create definitions of parts, sub-assemblies and top-level end items in the form of 2D drawings, 3D models, tolerance stack ups and various electronic data formats to support analysis, manufacturing, assembly, tooling and inspection; ensure compliance with established design guidelines for safety, manufacturing efficiency, quality and reliability.
• Facilitate design reviews for product parts and assemblies during the development and industrialization process; work as a part of the cross functional teams including manufacturing, sourcing, global engineering and systems engineering in developing and on-going support of state-of-the-art medium voltage control and protection devices.
• Protect inventions following ABB intellectual property guidelines; ability to travel is required, estimate 10 to 15 percent travel (domestic as well as international).

Qualifications for the role
• Master's degree in science (MSc) in Electrical Engineering with a minimum of 2 years of experience or Bachelor's degree in science (BSc) in Electrical Engineering with a minimum of 4 years of experience in medium or high voltage products development.
• Sound knowledge of FEM dielectric, electromagnetic, structural, thermal and CFD numerical simulations.
• Good understanding of electrotechnical material properties, behavior and applications.
• Basic experience with electrical devices testing and troubleshooting.
• Experience with new products industrialization process preferred.
• Sound knowledge of SolidWorks (or similar CAD tool) - 3D modeling, 2D drawings preferred.
• Experience with medium-voltage or high-voltage power network devices preferred.
