Lead engineer

Area of Responsibility Lead the end-to-end hardware development of power electronics systems including BMS and battery management interfaces. Define system hardware architecture and component specifications for high-voltage (400 V–800 V) battery systems. Collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanical, thermal, and systems engineering to ensure seamless integration. Oversee simulation, modelling, and analysis of power electronics circuits using tools like PLECS, MATLAB/Simulink, or LTspice. Guide PCB layout for high-power designs ensuring EMI/EMC compliance and thermal management. Drive validation and testing of prototypes in lab and vehicle environments. Ensure compliance with automotive standards such as ISO 26262, AEC-Q100, and functional safety. Select and integrate components such as MCUs, ADCs, op-amps, shunt resistors, Hall-effect sensors, and isolation devices. Develop schematics and PCB layouts using tools like Altium Designer, Or CAD, or Ki CAD, and automotive standards. Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and validation teams to ensure seamless system integration. Conduct hardware validation, bring-up, and debugging using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power analyzers, etc.). Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical reviews and design documentation. Act as the point of authority for complex engineering problems. Documenting and generating system requirements and Hardware specifications in a traceable way with test cases to facilitate smooth validation of features at detail and high-level abstractions. Take responsibility for the specification, flow-down and acceptance of sub-system / component requirements to internal development teams. Responsible for Test Strategy, Integration Plan, Issue resolution, risk & mitigation Review and manage the opening and closure of engineering quality concerns. Knowledge / Experience – 3+ Years in a HV Systems hardware design, Battery management System design, at a lead position A genuine passion/interest/curiosity for wanting to understand how complex power electronic systems for EV and work together with teams to achieve high levels of functionality. Experienced with agile methods and toolsets such as JIRA, SCRUM, KANBAN etc. Expertise regarding vehicle system interfaces and integration for distributed features onboard (offboard an advantage) Extensive experience into HV Product Development for EV, System Engineering and with knowledge of product development life cycle and software development life cycle Expertise in Design, development, integration and validation of electrical systems into the overall vehicle electrical architecture for OEMs/Tier 1s. Good Engineering knowledge of a few different vehicle subsystems such as PWT(ICE+BEV), Chassis, Body, Security, Infotainment, Diagnostics, Electrical systems ECUs(s), design, performance, production & manufacturing requirements . Issue resolution, change management, supplier management during vehicle development. Strong understanding of high-voltage systems, safety protocols, and thermal management. Hands-on experience in CAN tools (CANalyzer, CANoe, DET) would be a strong advantage Excellent understanding of OEM & Engineering Services processes Requirement management – DOORS, SYSML/UML, Mantis, Code Beamer or other Excellent Leadership, Initiative and the drive to success Good understanding of TCP/IP networks, including switching and routing is a plus Significant experience in use of engineering tools FMEA, DFM, DFA, Six Sigma, problem resolution etc. Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or equivalent discipline or equivalent experience.
