Project Engineer – Product Development & Execution

(Graduate Engineer Trainee – Program Management)

Location: Noida (On-site)
Employment Type: Full-time
Experience: Fresher / 0–1 year
Company: Aereka Airtech Pvt. Ltd.

About AEREKA

AEREKA is building a next-generation environmental technology platform focused on outdoor and semi-outdoor air purification, a multidisciplinary deep-tech product spanning mechanical engineering, airflow and filtration, electronics, sensing, firmware, industrial design, data, AI, manufacturing, and real-world deployment.

The Role

We're looking for an engineering graduate who wants to sit at the center of a hardware product, build not behind a desk tracking status updates, but in the room where mechanical, electronics, firmware, and manufacturing decisions actually get made. You'll convert ambitious product goals into structured plans, measurable milestones, and executed outcomes working directly with engineers, vendors, and leadership to take AEREKA's product from prototype to real-world deployment.

This is an engineering-first role. You don't need to be the expert in every discipline, but you need enough technical grounding from your engineering degree to understand dependencies, ask intelligent questions, and know when an engineering update is real progress versus activity.

What You'll Do

Project Planning & Execution

Convert product and engineering goals into clear milestones, deliverables, timelines, owners, and review checkpoints
Track multiple engineering workstreams and keep them aligned to overall product milestones
Identify schedule risks, dependencies, and execution gaps before they become delays

Cross-Functional Engineering Coordination

Work closely with mechanical, electronics, firmware, testing, industrial design, AI/software, procurement, and manufacturing teams
Understand the technical dependencies between workstreams and make sure teams get what they need, when they need it
Act as the execution bridge between engineering, leadership, vendors, and management

Project Monitoring & Reporting

Maintain project plans, milestone trackers, risk registers, and execution dashboards
Distinguish between activity and actual deliverable completion
Prepare concise management updates and escalate blockers with clarity

Meetings, Decisions & Action Closure

Capture decisions, dependencies, risks, and owner-wise action items in engineering and product reviews
Track actions through to closure, not just to I followed up

Vendor & Manufacturing Coordination

Coordinate with fabricators, manufacturers, testing partners, and suppliers
Track quotations, procurement timelines, and deliveries; flag vendor risks early

AI-First Execution You'll use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and automation tools as everyday working tools to plan faster, turn meetings into structured actions, build dashboards, and improve your own and your team's execution speed. We're looking for someone who uses AI to think and execute better, not just to generate documents.

Who Should Apply

Mandatory - Engineering Degree:

B.Tech / B.E. in one of:

Mechanical Engineering
Mechatronics
Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE)
Electrical Engineering
Instrumentation
Robotics & Automation
Industrial / Manufacturing Engineering
(or another closely related core engineering discipline)

A strong plus, not required:

An MBA / PGDM in Operations, Project Management, Technology Management, or a related field. Candidates without an MBA but with strong execution ability, technical curiosity, and a genuine interest in product/program management are equally encouraged to apply.

Experience: Fresh graduates or up to 1 year of relevant experience.

What We Look For

Structured thinking — you can turn an ambiguous problem into clear tasks, priorities, and owners
Ownership — you care whether the outcome actually happened, not just whether you followed up
Technical curiosity — you enjoy understanding how physical products actually work
Analytical ability — comfortable with schedules, metrics, spreadsheets, dashboards
Communication — clear with engineers, vendors, and leadership alike
Bias for action — you drive what needs to happen next rather than waiting to be told
AI-first mindset — you actively use AI/automation tools to move faster

What You'll Gain

Direct exposure to deep-tech hardware product development end to end: prototype design and validation, manufacturing and vendor ecosystems, testing, AI-enabled project management, and founder-level decision-making — building toward a career as a Project Manager, Program Manager, or technology-business leader.
