Job Description
Responsibilities:
- Design arc quenching chambers and contact systems, perform multibody simulations and develop the CAD drawings to be able to interrupt fault currents fast for different voltage and current ratings
- Design, simulate, and manufacture the actuator needed to drive a contact system.
- Explore the arc mechanism, overcome technical barriers such as zero flashover, zero breakdown, and zero emission under high voltage and large short-circuit current, and provide key arc extinguishing solutions for new power distribution devices used in digital energy scenarios.
- Propose innovative technical solutions to speed up the arc interruption process and successfully interrupt DC fault currents in a fast and reliable manner.
- Discuss with suppliers and manage the fabrication process of the parts needed to assemble the breaker.
- Identify necessary standards and perform the tests needed to qualify the prototype and bring the idea to the market
- Write technical reports, patents and publications
- Continuous research on the field and attend relevant conferences to stay up to date
Requirements
- Master degree or above in mechanical Engineering or other related fields
- Capable of designing, analyzing and optimizing arc-related parts such as arc-extinguishing systems and conductive circuits of low-voltage switch products, as well as improving the arc-extinguishing performance of products to meet application requirements
- Experience in design and testing of circuit breakers, experience in DC breakers is a strong plus
- Experience in building test set-ups to test different breaker concepts
- Experience in research, development and application of key technologies and devices in this field
- Solid basic knowledge of mechanics
- Good teamwork spirit, strong learning ability and English communication and writing skills
