Location: Remote from anywhere in India. No relocation required.
Experience: 813 years.

Annual salary: INR 1525 lakh, depending on relevant experience and technical capability.

Role & responsibilities

• Develop and review electrical designs for oil-immersed power transformers, including core, windings, insulation systems and internal connections.
• Perform and verify calculations for losses, impedance, temperature rise, dielectric performance and short-circuit withstand.
• Review customer specifications and prepare technical datasheets, design reports and compliance documents.
• Review manufacturing drawings, winding details, material specifications and bills of materials.
• Work with manufacturing partners to resolve design queries and production deviations.
• Review factory test results, investigate discrepancies and recommend corrective actions.
• Support the development and validation of Nordic Transformer’s engineering software by defining calculation methods, checking outputs and comparing predictions with factory test results.
• Maintain clear, traceable engineering documentation and communicate technical findings to the Danish team.

Preferred candidate profile

• B.E./B.Tech in Electrical Engineering or an equivalent relevant qualification.
• 8–13 years of practical transformer electrical design experience, preferably with a transformer manufacturer.
• Demonstrated experience with power transformers at 60/66 kV and above; experience at 110/132 kV and above is highly desirable.
• Ability to independently calculate and review active-part designs, including core geometry, winding arrangements, insulation clearances and cooling ducts.
• Strong working knowledge of IEC 60076 and practical manufacturing and testing processes.
• Proficiency with transformer design tools and engineering calculation software. Electromagnetic, dielectric or thermal simulation experience is an advantage.
• Good written and spoken English and the ability to work independently within an international team.
• Availability for agreed working-hour overlap with Denmark and occasional international factory visits.

What we offer

• A permanent remote role with direct involvement in transformer engineering and product development.
• Close collaboration with the CTO and an international manufacturing team.
• The opportunity to help develop and validate our transformer design platform.
• Technical responsibility and the opportunity to influence designs from specification through manufacturing and testing.
