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 (400V–800V) 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, OrCAD, or KiCAD, 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.
