Job Description

We are looking for a skilled Electrical Hardware Engineer with 8 to 13 years of experience to join our team in Bengaluru. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in designing and developing variable speed drives and power conversion systems.
Roles and Responsibility
  • Design, develop, and test variable speed drives, motor control circuits, and power electronic systems.
  • Conduct prototype builds to ensure compliance with specifications, efficiency, and reliability.
  • Create electrical schematics and PCBAs for power stage, control boards, and gate driver circuits.
  • Develop Altium-based wire harnesses and cabling for drive systems, including BOM generation and routing optimization.
  • Select components such as IGBTs, SiC/MOSFETs, gate drivers, magnetics, sensors, and protection circuits for drive applications.
  • Develop and execute VSD performance verification test plans (efficiency, harmonic distortion, thermal, EMI/EMC).
  • Analyze failure modes, reliability, and drive performance improvements.
  • Develop mathematical models of motor-drive systems to guide design and validation.
  • Troubleshoot and refine prototypes/final products for power density, thermal, and manufacturability targets.
  • Resolve failure issues and identify root causes; qualify alternate components for obsolete or supply-chain constrained parts.
  • Create and maintain documentation: BOMs, harness drawings, ECNs/EDNs, test procedures, and design packages.
  • Provide sustaining engineering support for existing VSD products and address field-return/production issues.
  • Collaborate with Product Management and Procurement to drive cost reductions and performance improvements.
  • Evaluate and introduce new power semiconductors, passive components, manufacturing techniques, and design tools.
  • Manage prototype procurement, supplier quoting, ordering, and material inspection.
  • Ensure compliance with UL, CE, IEC 61800-5-1, and IEEE 519 standards for variable speed drives.
  • Coordinate with external labs for compliance (safety, EMC/EMI, efficiency testing).
  • Support the companys Quality Management System (ISO 9001 and customer requirements).
  • Train and mentor junior engineers on PCB, harness design, and VSD development practices.
Job Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering with 8+ years of relevant experience.
  • Experience in designing variable speed drives (VSDs), motor control circuits, and power stages.
  • Knowledge of IGBTs, SiC/MOSFETs, gate drivers, magnetics, sensors, and protection circuits.
  • Proficient in tools like Altium Designer for PCB and harness design.
  • Understanding of AC/DC motor types, control algorithms (FOC, V/f), and drive topologies.
  • Familiarity with UL, CE, IEC 61800-5-1, IEEE 519, and EMI/EMC requirements.
  • Ability to model motor-drive systems for design and validation.
  • Experience in creating schematics and PCB layouts for control boards and gate driver circuits.
  • Good understanding of ISO 9001 and customer-specific quality requirements.
  • Exposure to debugging prototypes and final products for power density, thermal, and manufacturability.
  • Preferred to have experience in working with Product Management and Procurement for cost reduction.
  • Preferred to have experience with MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, or similar for system-level modeling.
  • Preferred to have experience in introducing new semiconductors, passive components, and design tools.
  • Desired to have experience in training junior engineers on PCB and VSD development practices.
  • Desired to have experience in handling compliance testing for safety, EMC/EMI, and efficiency.
