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.
