• Firmware development in Embedded C for control loops, protection, communication (CAN/UART), and supervisory logic.
• Hardware debugging and real-time validation.

6. Validation, Testing & Quality Assurance

• Prepare and execute detailed test plans (electrical, thermal, functional, EMC).
• Interpret test data, identify issues, perform root cause analysis, and implement corrective actions.
• Ensure system reliability and safety through structured problem-solving methodologies.

7. Certification & Compliance

• Ensure compliance with standards:
  BIS, CE, AIS-138
  , and automotive safety norms as applicable.
• Coordinate with certification labs and regulatory bodies.
• Experience with NPD processes and DFMEA is a plus.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• BE/M.Tech in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Embedded Systems, or related fields.
• Strong knowledge of converter topologies, semiconductor devices, magnetics, and embedded control.
• Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink, LTspice, PLECS, ANSYS Maxwell, Icepak.
• Hands-on experience with lab equipment and hardware testing.
• Excellent analytical, documentation, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Experience

• Experience in EV chargers, SMPS, UPS, inverters, or automotive power systems.
• Exposure to DFMEA, NPD processes, functional safety, and certification cycles.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive salary package
  aligned with experience and industry standards.
• ESOPs/Equity options
  for high-performing engineers contributing to core IP and product development.
• Opportunity to work on breakthrough
  deep-tech hardware
  with a clear growth trajectory.
• Access to the
  IISc research ecosystem
  , testing facilities, and technical mentorship networks.
• Health benefits, paid leave, and performance-based incentives.
• A culture of innovation, ownership, and rapid career progression.
