Electrical Design Engineer · Noida

Key Responsibilities

DC System Design & Optimization

• Lead complete DC design including module stringing, SCB configuration, DC cabling, and network architecture.

• Optimize DC BoS for cost efficiency, high performance, and minimal technical losses.

• Perform string sizing based on thermal conditions, inverter characteristics, site parameters, and module specifications.

• Finalize array layouts, module mounting schemes, routing of trenches/cables, and DC interconnections.

• Apply advanced optimization techniques to improve energy yield and reduce lifecycle costs.

• Prepare cable routing layouts, trench details, and DC cable sizing calculations.

• Strong understanding of DC block site sections, Google Earth analysis, SketchUp, PVcase, and PVSyst.

• Exposure to EYA (Energy Yield Assessment) is an added advantage.

Technical Review & Documentation

• Review and approve detailed engineering documents such as SLDs, GAs, string layouts, cable schedules, and cross-sections. Prepare design calculation sheets, DC loss analysis reports, and BoS optimization documents.

• Ensure adherence to IEC, IS, CEA, MNRE, and Avaada’s internal quality standards.

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Coordinate with civil, SCADA, AC engineering, and PM teams for integrated design solutions.

• Support procurement through technical specifications and vendor evaluations for modules, SCBs, cables, connectors, etc.

• Provide engineering support and timely clarifications to site teams during execution.

• Visit project sites for issue resolution, constructability checks, and design validation.

Engineering Leadership & Management

• Lead, guide, and mentor a team of DC design engineers and draftsmen.

• Establish workflows, templates, guidelines, and quality processes for DC engineering.

• Manage design deliverables, review cycles, and inter-department interfaces.

Compliance, Standards & Innovation

• Ensure design compliance with safety norms, quality standards, and statutory regulations.

• Stay updated on evolving national and international standards (CEA, MNRE, IEC, NEC).

• Drive innovation through new tools, technologies, and methodologies to enhance plant performance and reduce costs.

Qualifications & Experience

• Education: B.E./B. Tech or M.E./M. Tech in Electrical Engineering.

• Experience: Minimum 10-25 years in solar PV DC engineering with exposure to both fixed-tilt and tracker systems.

• Technical Skills: Expertise in all major solar module technologies (mono-PERC, bifacial, TOPCon, HJT, thin-film, etc.).

• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Helioscope, PVsyst, PVcase, ETAP/Power Factory, and engineering calculators.

• Leadership: At least 5 years in a managerial or lead engineering role.

• Project Background: Experience in designing large utility-scale solar projects (>500 MWp).

• Willingness to travel for site visits and technical issue resolution
