Engineer I (Power & Battery)

Responsibilities:

• Battery Pack Design & Component Packaging: Responsible for the end-to-end electrical design of battery packs, including wiring layout and optimal packaging of key components such as PDU, BMU, BCU, relays, fuses, and HV/LV contactors.
• Component Selection & Sizing: Evaluate, select, and size critical electrical components such as ESC, Motors, BMS, contactors, IMDs, connectors, IVT modules, and busbars, ensuring suitability for performance, safety, and integration.
• Project Coordination & Technical Interface: Collaborate with cross-functional teams and provide timely technical support to meet project milestones.
• Design Documentation & Risk Assessment: Prepare and maintain key engineering documents, including DFMEA, FTA, DFM, and DVP in accordance with product requirements and safety standards.
• Technical Review & Risk Management: Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, and cross-functional brainstorming to identify potential issues early and ensure product quality and compliance with technical specifications.
• Production Support: Support battery pack assembly on the production floor, trouble shoot issues in real-time, and provide immediate, effective solutions to minimize downtime.
• Cost Management: Operate within defined budgets by identifying and implementing cost-effective solutions without compromising on performance or quality.
• Continuous Improvement: Drive value engineering initiatives and identify opportunities for enhancing existing products through design optimization and best practice development.
• Testing and Validation: Develop test plans, oversee testing processes, and collaborate with the testing team to validate electrical systems performance and safety. Analyse test results and drive improvements based on findings.
• Research and Innovation: Stay updated with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices related to drone electrical systems. Implement innovative solutions to enhance drone performance and capabilities.
  

Additional Responsibilities:

• CAD Modelling & Drawing Preparation: Should have basic knowledge in 3D & 2D CAD Creo Parametric and Creo Schematics (Preferred). Ensure timely delivery of detailed and production-ready drawings.
• Project Life Cycle Management (Windchill): (Preferred)
  

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree / Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field. Advanced certifications or specialized training in WHMA/IPC standards are a plus.
• 03+ years of hands-on experience in battery pack design, high-voltage system integration, or drone/e-mobility electrical systems.
• Prior exposure to Cell selection, sensor selection, Motor selection, ESC selection, BMS algorithms (SOC, SOH estimation, balancing, paralleling) is strongly desired
• In-depth knowledge of Indian and international standards applicable to drones, aerospace, and automotive domains, especially AIS, MIL, IEC, and ISO standards.
• Perform Electrical components testing at both component and system levels using appropriate test equipment and tools.
• Experience in battery testing (cell, module, and pack level), using simulation tools and test equipment.
• Ensure designs comply with EMC/EMI requirements at both component and system/vehicle levels.
• Ability to work independently and cross-functionally under tight project timelines.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking at both component and vehicle levels.
• Excellent communication skills for cross-team collaboration and supplier interfacing.
