About Zeno

An unprecedented energy transition has begun. To meet 2040 net zero goals, over 2 billion electric two-wheelers (motorcycles) must be sold and $11 trillion in fuel consumption replaced. Zeno is building a tech platform to electrify this two-wheeler market, currently responsible for more than 4% of the world's GHG emissions. Our mission is to accelerate the energy transition and democratize the benefits across Africa, India, and Latin America. With a focus on East Africa as a starting point, Zeno is building a new energy ecosystem with ground-up development of a fundamentally better electric motorcycle and associated battery swap network to drive a better experience for our customers.

The Role

Zeno is seeking a Vehicle Electronics (Hardware) Engineer to lead the design and development of electronic hardware systems for our next-generation EV platform. This role will focus on end-to-end hardware development including architecture design, schematic capture, PCB design, component selection, compliance testing, and product validation. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver robust and cost-optimized electronics for Zeno's electric motorcycles.

What You'll Do

  • Lead end-to-end design and development of Telematics Control Units (TCUs), Vehicle Control unit (VCU), Charge controller (EVCC) etc
  • Work with suppliers, PCB fab and assembly houses to ensure manufacturability, cost-effectiveness, while maintaining high quality and reliability.
  • Select and validate vehicle wire harness subcomponents including wire material and guage, connectors, switch gear, and layout needed to minimize cross talk
  • Translate market and product requirements into hardware block diagrams and system architecture.
  • Develop and implement power tree architectures using Buck-Boost converters, LDOs, and low-power design principles.
  • Select components in collaboration with vendors and suppliers to balance performance, cost, and availability.
  • Own schematic drafting, PCB stack-up, and layout design using tools such as Altium Designer.
  • Create and manage BOMs; ensure quality improvement and cost reduction in product design.
  • Perform DFM, DFA, and DFT reviews with manufacturing and EMS partners.
  • Draft and execute test plans for board bring-up, hardware debugging, antenna tuning, and compliance validation.
  • Work closely with firmware engineers to ensure seamless hardware–software integration.
  • Ensure compliance with automotive and EV regulatory standards (AIS004, AIS140).
  • Contribute to DFMEA, supplier assessments, and design reviews.
  • Support POC builds, customer evaluations, and field issue resolutions.

What You Bring

  • Knowledge of EMI/EMC compliance design, signal integrity, mixed signal design principles.
  • 5–8 years of experience in electronic hardware design, preferably in automotive or IoT/EV domains.
  • Proven expertise with microcontrollers (STM, NXP, ESP32) and IoT modules (N58, EC200, EC25, EG800, N720, N706, C10GS, L89H, GEM1205, ESP32).
  • Strong understanding of communication protocols: I2C, SPI, UART, USB, SDIO, CAN, RS485/232, LTE (4G/2G), GNSS, IRNSS, BLE.
  • Hands-on experience with AIS004 and AIS140 compliance testing.
  • Proficiency in power electronics fundamentals and power tree architecture.
  • Strong knowledge of schematic design, PCB layout, and component libraries.
  • Familiarity with DFMEA, DFM, DFA, and quality/reliability processes.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary aligned with experience.
  • Company-sponsored healthcare plan.
  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge EV electronics at the heart of the energy transition.
  • Join a world-class global team shaping the trillion-dollar transition of two-wheelers to electric.
