Design and develop electrical systems for a variety of applications, including power generation, electrical distribution, control systems, and consumer electronics.
Create schematics, circuit diagrams, and technical drawings to specify electrical system requirements.
Use design software like AutoCAD, MATLAB, or ETAP to model and simulate electrical systems and components.
Power Systems:
Work on power generation, transmission, and distribution systems to ensure that electricity is delivered efficiently and safely.
Design and maintain substations, electrical grids, and renewable energy systems (such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power plants).
Ensure systems comply with safety and regulatory standards (e.g., IEEE, NEC).
Control and Automation:
Develop control systems to manage industrial processes, machinery, and robots, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency.
Work with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, and automation software to monitor and control processes.
Testing and Troubleshooting:
Test electrical systems and components for functionality, safety, and performance.
Troubleshoot electrical problems, both in design and in operational settings, to ensure systems are functioning as intended.
Project Management:
Plan and oversee projects related to the installation, upgrade, or maintenance of electrical systems.
Coordinate with other engineers, architects, contractors, and clients to ensure projects are completed on time and within budget.
Develop project schedules, monitor progress, and ensure compliance with safety standards.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability:
Design energy-efficient electrical systems that reduce power consumption and environmental impact.
Integrate renewable energy solutions into systems, such as solar panels, wind turbines, or energy storage systems.
Compliance and Safety:
Ensure that electrical systems meet national and international safety standards, codes, and regulations.
Conduct safety assessments and risk analyses to prevent accidents or electrical hazards.
