Hardware Design & Development:

• Design and review schematics for EV subsystems including BMS, Motor Controller, Charger, DC-DC converters, and VCUs.
• Develop multi-layer PCB layouts ensuring compliance with creepage/clearance, thermal management, high-voltage isolation, and EMI/EMC requirements.
• Select automotive-grade components such as MCUs, MOSFETs/IGBTs/SiC devices, gate drivers, sensors, and connectors.
• Perform power stage design calculations for DC-DC converters, inverter stages, and current sensing circuits.
• Collaborate with mechanical and thermal engineers to ensure reliable system integration.

Testing, Measurement & Debugging:

• Perform circuit bring-up, debugging, and validation of hardware prototypes.
• Use test equipment including oscilloscopes (GHz range), spectrum analyzers, power analyzers, DMMs, thermal cameras, and logic analyzers for hardware validation.
• Debug high-current power stages, gate driver circuits, and communication buses (CAN, UART, SPI, I2C, LIN).
• Conduct signal integrity analysis and resolve EMI/EMC issues.
• Execute hardware validation tests such as load tests, thermal cycling, high-voltage isolation, and ESD/EMI pre-compliance testing.

Microcontroller & Embedded Integration:

• Program and debug STM32 and TI C2000 MCUs for control and monitoring functions.
• Implement bootloader, communication stacks (CANopen, CAN FD, Modbus, RS485), and low-level drivers.
• Work closely with firmware and software teams to ensure seamless hardware-software integration.
• Support real-time debugging during motor control, battery management, and charging system development.

Supervisory Responsibilities:

None

Qualifications:

To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

Education/Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a related field.
• 3–4 years of professional experience in electronics hardware design and embedded systems.
• Proficient in schematic capture and PCB design tools such as Altium Designer, OrCAD, or KiCad.
• Hands-on experience with STM32 (ARM Cortex-M series) and TI C2000 MCUs (TMS320F2837x, F2800x).
• Strong knowledge of digital and analog electronics design including power supplies, ADC/DAC, current/voltage sensing, gate drivers, and isolation interfaces.
• Familiarity with automotive communication protocols: CAN, CAN FD, LIN, UART, SPI, I2C, and Ethernet.
• Experience with EV-specific electronics including Battery Management Systems, Inverter & Motor Controller hardware, and high-voltage DC-DC converters and charging interfaces.
• Skilled in debugging high-power circuits, safety practices in high-voltage labs, and root cause analysis.
• Understanding of EMI/EMC design guidelines and compliance preparation.

Language Ability:

Strong technical writing skills for documentation including schematics, design reports, test plans, and validation protocols.

Math Ability:

Excellent numerical aptitude for power stage design calculations, signal integrity analysis, and performance validation metrics.
