Role & responsibilities Define system-level architecture for electric propulsion, including motors, inverters, gearboxes, and controllers. Specify and select LV (12V/24V) and HV (up to 800V) components such as batteries, DC/DC converters, on-board chargers, and HV junction boxes. Develop functional specifications, interface definitions, and validation plans for drive systems and powertrain components. Collaborate with internal teams and suppliers to integrate and validate motor controllers, inverters, and electronic control units (ECUs). Oversee integration of drive-by-wire systems and electronic throttle control in coordination with software and control teams. Conduct simulations and trade-off analysis (e.g., efficiency, thermal, EMC/EMI) for motor-inverter combinations. Ensure safety and compliance with standards such as ISO 26262, UNECE R100, and LV/HV handling protocols. Support vehicle-level testing, fault analysis, and diagnostics of electric drive systems in labs and on prototypes. Preferred candidate profile Experience with high-voltage and low-voltage components sourcing and supplier qualification. Working knowledge of BMS (Battery Management Systems), VCU (Vehicle Control Units), and thermal management integration. Exposure to ISO 21434 (Cybersecurity), functional safety, and automotive SPICE development. Understanding of homologation and regulatory approval processes for EVs. Hands-on experience with wiring harness design. Ideal candidate would be someone who has worked in both Tier-1 and an automotive OEM (only electrical and electronics relevant). Required Qualifications B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, or Automotive Engineering. 4+ years of hands-on experience in electric vehicle systems, especially electric powertrain architecture. Deep understanding of electric machines (PMSM, IM, SRM, etc), inverters, and power electronic converters. Knowledge of LV/HV systems, high voltage safety design, insulation coordination, and grounding practices. Familiarity with CAN, LIN, UDS, and diagnostics frameworks. Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink, or similar tools.
