Project Leader - Electrical Design

Join Epiroc Mining India Ltd as a dedicated Project Leader within our Research and Development department, located in Bengaluru. This role places you at the forefront of innovation in the design and development of electrical systems for mining machines and heavy industrial equipment, directly contributing to the advancement of safe and efficient mining technologies.

About the Role

As a Project Leader specializing in Electrical Design, you will take charge of designing electrical systems encompassing LV panels and 24V DC control systems for mining machinery. Your expertise will be crucial in developing detailed electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and layout drawings using tools such as AutoCAD Electrical and Creo. You will lead integration efforts with cabins, operator panels, engine controls, lights, safety, hydraulic systems, and drive trains to ensure seamless operation.

The role also involves selecting and sizing critical electrical components including circuit breakers, fuses, relays, and related hardware. You will be responsible for designing control boxes, distribution boxes, and operator panels while ensuring precise cable harness designs, routing layouts, and comprehensive bill of materials (BOM). Experience working with high voltage (up to 800V DC) components such as inverters and DC-DC converters will be applied to innovate next-generation mining machinery.

You will coordinate with our global R&D teams, managing projects independently, preparing thorough documentation, and actively participating in design reviews during different phases of the product lifecycle. Your leadership and technical guidance will support compliance with stringent electrical system standards including ISO EN60204, EMC, vehicle safety, and functional safety requirements, emphasizing risk management and protection mechanisms against overload, short circuit, and earth faults.
