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.

  • 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.

When applying, please state the highest MVA and kV ratings you have personally designed, your specific design responsibilities, the software you use and your notice period.

Include two brief examples of transformers you designed that were manufactured and tested. Please do not submit confidential material belonging to previous employers.
