Job Title: Instrumentation Designer (Electrical Systems)

Job Summary:

The Fresher Instrumentation Designer (Electrical Systems) will assist in the design, installation, and maintenance of electrical instrumentation systems in industrial, commercial, or manufacturing environments. This entry-level role provides an excellent opportunity to learn and gain hands-on experience in designing electrical systems for instrumentation and control. The Instrumentation Designer will work under the supervision of senior engineers to support design tasks, create technical drawings, and assist in ensuring the accuracy, functionality, and safety of electrical systems.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Design Support:

   • Assist in designing electrical instrumentation systems, including wiring diagrams, layouts, and system integration for various industrial processes.
   • Create and modify technical drawings, schematics, and control system diagrams using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software.
   • Support the design of electrical circuits, power distribution, control panels, instrumentation, and other components required for the electrical systems.
   • Work with senior engineers to ensure designs meet specifications and comply with industry standards and safety regulations.

2. System Specifications and Documentation:

   • Help prepare specifications for electrical equipment, control panels, and instrumentation, ensuring that all components meet required performance standards.
   • Assist in creating and maintaining design documentation, including system configurations, wiring diagrams, installation instructions, and operation manuals.
   • Ensure that all documentation is accurate and up to date, and is available for future maintenance, repairs, and audits.

3. Collaboration with Engineering Teams:

   • Collaborate with senior instrumentation engineers, electrical engineers, and project managers to ensure the design is aligned with the project requirements.
   • Work closely with other departments such as procurement and construction to support the installation and commissioning of electrical systems.
   • Participate in design review meetings, providing input on system functionality, equipment specifications, and design improvements.

4. Testing and Validation Support:

   • Assist in testing electrical systems and instrumentation during the design and installation phases to verify functionality and performance.
   • Help in identifying and troubleshooting any design-related issues or failures during system testing and provide recommendations for improvements.
   • Support the calibration and verification of electrical instrumentation, ensuring systems perform as expected.

5. Compliance and Safety:

   • Ensure that designs comply with electrical safety standards, codes (e.g., NEC, IEC), and industry regulations (e.g., OSHA).
   • Follow all established safety protocols during design, testing, and installation phases to minimize hazards and ensure the safety of the work environment.
   • Assist senior engineers in conducting risk assessments and ensuring that the designs meet safety standards.

6. Learning and Development:

   • Continuously develop knowledge and skills related to electrical instrumentation and system design under the guidance of senior engineers.
   • Participate in training sessions, workshops, and technical seminars to stay updated on industry trends, best practices, and new technologies.
   • Take on additional responsibilities as experience grows and actively contribute to design projects.

7. Project Documentation and Reporting:

   • Assist in preparing regular project status reports and tracking the progress of design tasks.
   • Ensure that all design changes, system configurations, and other modifications are documented clearly and communicated to relevant stakeholders.
   • Assist in generating design progress reports and provide updates to project teams.

Skills and Knowledge Required:

• Basic understanding of electrical systems, circuits, and instrumentation.
• Familiarity with CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software, such as AutoCAD or similar tools for electrical system design and drafting.
• Knowledge of electrical safety standards, codes (e.g., NEC, IEC), and best practices.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to create accurate technical drawings and system designs.
• Good problem-solving skills and an analytical mindset.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with team members.
• Eagerness to learn and develop technical expertise in instrumentation and electrical systems design.

Educational Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Relevant coursework or academic projects related to electrical systems design, instrumentation, or control systems.
• Basic knowledge of control systems (e.g., PLC, SCADA) is a plus but not required.

Experience:

• No prior professional experience required.
• Internships, academic projects, or hands-on experience with electrical systems or instrumentation is beneficial but not mandatory.

Tools and Technologies:

• Familiarity with CAD tools like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or any similar electrical design software.
• Basic knowledge of electrical testing and measurement equipment (e.g., multimeters, oscilloscopes).
• Exposure to control system software or tools (e.g., PLC programming) is an advantage but not required.

Other Requirements:

• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple tasks or design projects simultaneously.
• Ability to follow instructions carefully and work with minimal supervision while being part of a collaborative team.
• Ability to adapt quickly and be flexible to work in various environments or project phases.
• Willingness to travel to project sites or manufacturing facilities as required.
