Senior Electrical Design Engineer

Senior Electrical Design Engineer

3 days onsite per week

The primary purpose of this position is to contribute to the electrical and power electronic design for fuel cell and electrolysis systems as part of the Systems Engineering function group. You will be involved in electrical design, electrical system modelling, power analysis and technical support to the grid connection activities of fuel cells and electrolysis systems and other electrical areas where electrical engineering plays a particularly important role. ??

Key Accountabilities:?

• Contribute to the design team in developing and improving fuel cell and electrolyser stack design and stack array module design.

• Electrical network design of grid-connected fuel cell/electrolysis systems (for AC and DC distribution). Design includes power analysis, modelling, investigate best technical solution or develop new solution/concept.

• Producing drawings and supporting material of the electrical architecture and physical concept including high level wiring schematics.

• Accountable for producing high quality design material and documents for design reference to communicate to both internal and external stakeholders.

• Manage, review, and approve the design and delivery of works being undertaken by electrical contractors/installers.

• Provide technical advice to project leadership to ensure all aspects of the electrical design are appropriately considered and risk assessed.

• Identify and mitigate project risks, advise project leadership on an ongoing basis about existing risks and anticipated related liabilities. Project risk analysis relevant electrical design.

• Accountable for reviewing and approving electrical design compliance with all relevant national and international standards such as IEEE, ANSI, IEC and NFPA.

• Responsible for generating and reviewing electrical design requirements for interfacing fuel cell modules or electrolyser modules to external connections.

• Support the build of the electrical aspects of the Project. Site installation, troubleshooting and commissioning the electrical system.

?

Knowledge and skills required for the role:

• ?Qualified in Electrical Engineering or related discipline

• The projects have a strong R&D component and involve working on first of a kind prototypes development, therefore a positive mindset and can-do attitude are strongly desirable

• Hands-on practical with strong theoretical knowledge and experience of real-world components and systems

• Experience designing and delivering grid connections for power generation and demand projects involving AC and DC distributions (experience in MW scale systems is a plus)

• Practical experience of designing electrical systems (cable sizing, protection device selection, earthing/grounding design) and able to advise on panel and wiring layout, connection requirements, cable management etc

• Experience in interfacing electrical system with control system elements such as PLCs, embedded microcontrollers, electronic power converters and protection devices

• Good understanding of grid connection process, regulations, and policy across different geographical regions (national and international standards)

• Knowledge of power system modelling and analysis. Experience in using ETAP (Electrical Power System Analysis), EPLAN and MATLAB software (or similar tools)

• Knowledge of reviewing electrical design (electrical drawing and schematics, ETAP design, BoM, load calculation, components selection, EPLAN schematics)

• Strong time management, organisational, communication and report writing skills
