  • Develop detailed manufacturing drawings, customer documentation, and bills of materials.
  • Create advanced models and simulations to solve engineering challenges.
  • Participate in design reviews and contribute to continuous product improvement.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align designs with market and sales strategies.
  • Lead or support technical investigations and implement effective engineering solutions.
  • Engage with customers to resolve technical issues and strengthen relationships.
  • Prepare specifications, proposals, and technical reports while supporting approvals.
  • Responsible to ensure compliance with applicable external and internal regulations, procedures, and guidelines.

Your background
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • 3-5 years of experience in electrical design, ideally within the power transformer industry.
  • Strong theoretical and practical knowledge of electrical engineering principles.
  • Experience with AutoCAD and/or 3D design tools such as Creo preferred.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools and engineering documentation.
  • Strong collaboration skills with the ability to work independently when needed.
More about us
