Project Engineer

Noratel India is looking for an experienced Project Engineer to join our engineering team in Bengaluru.

In this role, you will be responsible for the design, development and industrialization of transformers and reactors for customer-specific applications. You will work across the full engineering process – from technical quotations and product design to prototype development, production implementation, quality follow-up and cost optimization.

The position requires close cooperation with engineering, production, quality, purchasing and sales teams across Noratel India and Noratel North America. You will combine strong technical expertise with project coordination skills to ensure that products meet electrical, mechanical, safety, quality, cost and manufacturability requirements.

This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on engineer who enjoys solving technical challenges, working across functions and taking ownership of projects from initial concept through to production

Cost optimization and continuous improvement

• Lead value analysis and value engineering activities to reduce product and manufacturing costs.
• Perform cost analysis and optimization for both new and existing products.
• Identify alternative materials, components and manufacturing solutions.
• Support Purchasing in evaluating and sourcing new or alternative raw materials.
• Recommend improvements that enhance product performance, quality, manufacturability and commercial competitiveness.

Quality and compliance

• Work closely with the Quality team on non-conformities, customer returns and corrective actions.
• Support the investigation and resolution of RMAs and NCRs.
• Ensure that products and documentation meet internal quality requirements and customer specifications.
• Support product compliance, testing and certification activities in line with IEC, UL, CSA and other applicable international standards.
• Cooperate with certification bodies and internal stakeholders during product approval and compliance processes.

Supplier and equipment coordination

• Communicate with suppliers regarding technical specifications, materials, pricing and lead times.
• Support negotiations related to raw materials, tooling and manufacturing equipment.
• Evaluate and source tools, fixtures, test jigs, crimping equipment and other machinery required for prototype or production activities.
• Ensure that proposed tools and equipment meet technical, quality and production requirements.

Qualifications and experience

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• A specialization in Power Engineering would be an advantage.
• Minimum three years of experience in magnetics design within a manufacturing environment.
