Join ABB and work in a team that is dedicated to creating a future where innovative digital technologies allow greater access to cleaner energy.

Our R&D engineers and scientists develop breakthrough technologies that change the way the world works, and industries do business. We constantly push the limits of convention, while retaining our focus on delivering solid returns for our customers and shareholders.

ABB's Power Grids Transformers are a global leader in technology, and the largest supplier of transformers in the world. We are pioneering the digitalization of transformers, while working on the frontier of renewable energy and ultra-high voltage AC & DC applications.

You will use your creative thinking and apply innovation process to develop new and innovative products with world leading technologies. You will collaborate on projects with your colleagues in Switzerland, India, United States, and other countries. And you will enjoy working in a friendly, international, open minded environment with a wide range of career opportunities at ABB, both locally and globally.

Your responsibilities

• Develop innovative designs to meet all requirements for functionality, performance, reliability, serviceability, cost and manufacturability of traction transformer products.
• Collaborate with cross-functional international teams to complete electrical, mechanical, simulation, prototyping, and testing.
• Engage in all phases of new product development, including concept, architecture, documentation, design, prototype, test, supplier interfaces, manufacturing introduction and service support.
• Support the transfer of technology and knowledge from R&D to engineering department by writing design rules, preparing trainings and collaborating with design tools team.
• Provide punctual technical support to factories, sales people and customers.
• Lead project execution.
• Living ABB’s core values of safety and integrity, which means taking responsibility for your own actions while caring for your colleagues and the business.

Your background
