About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Lead electrical engineering and delivery of 5,000 A to 10,000 A static generator excitation systems from specification review through FAT, commissioning, and handover
- Review customer specifications, generator data, field forcing requirements, protection philosophy, grid code expectations, and project scope
- Size and select excitation system components including transformers, rectifier bridges, thyristors or diodes, protection devices, DC bus bars, cooling systems, controllers, I/O, and auxiliary supplies
- Develop and review schematics, diagrams, wiring documentation, cabinet layouts, BOMs, cable schedules, terminal plans, and system architecture documents
- Engineer high-current bus work and validate thermal, short-circuit, insulation, ventilation, accessibility, and manufacturability requirements
- Define and validate AVR/FCR functions, voltage and reactive power control, limiters, protection logic, redundancy, trip interfaces, alarms, and DCS/SCADA interfaces
- Implement or review control logic based on SAMA diagrams, functional descriptions, approved narratives, and generator operating requirements
- Prepare and review engineering deliverables, test procedures, compliance statements, deviation lists, risk registers, commissioning procedures, troubleshooting guides, and customer documentation
- Coordinate with project management, manufacturing, quality, procurement, suppliers, panel builders, software engineers, field service teams, and customers
- Support manufacturing and quality checks, FAT readiness, and nonconformance closure
- Configure and integrate Modbus, OPC, IEC 61850, DNP3, Ethernet networks, and plant automation interfaces
- Ensure compliance with IEEE, IEC, NEC, ISO, HSE, cybersecurity, customer, and regional grid code requirements
- Prepare site execution and commissioning plans
- Lead site teams through installation, panel power-up, redundancy checks, I/O verification, loop checks, device checks, and system energization
- Perform and support commissioning, control checks, protection testing, interface testing, and generator performance validation
- Troubleshoot excitation controllers, power bridges, firing circuits, field flashing, cooling systems, communications, protection devices, and auxiliary systems
- Resolve installation or wiring deviations, site constraints, and commissioning punch points
- Modify logic, graphics, databases, parameters, and test configurations as required
- Prepare customer-facing commissioning reports, test records, issue logs, and handover documentation
