Lead BMS Hardware Engineer

Role Overview:

As Lead BMS Hardware Engineer, you will own the end-to-end hardware design of our BMS boardsfrom architecture and schematics to PCB design, validation, and compliance. You will lead and

mentor a team of hardware engineers, establish structured design processes, and ensure our designs meet automotive-grade safety, reliability, and certification standards.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the architecture, schematic design, and PCB development of BMS boards (LV and HV, up to 800V).
• Design circuits for AFE integration, microcontrollers, power electronics, contactor control, isolation, and protection.
• Expertise with NXP S32K3, TI C2000, or Infineon Aurix MCUs in BMS/automotive applications.
• Drive design reviews, simulations, and verification plans; enforce structured processes and documentation.
• Collaborate with embedded/software teams for hardware-software co-design.
• Oversee BOM optimization, component selection, and sourcing with cost-performance trade-offs.
• Ensure compliance with ISO 26262, AIS-038, AIS-156, IEC standards, and BIS certifications.
• Guide DFM/DFT practices and coordinate with fabrication/testing vendors.
• Mentor and upskill junior engineers; set best practices in CAD tools, version control, and validation workflows.

Preferred candidate profile:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related field.
• 7+ years of experience in hardware design, with at least 3+ years in BMS/EV/automotiveelectronics.
• Hands-on expertise with Altium Designer and OrCAD (Cadence Allegro).
• Experience with high-voltage, high-current PCB design, isolation techniques, and thermal management.
• Understanding of cell monitoring ICs (NXP MC3377x, TI, ADI, etc.).
• Proven track record of designing multi-layer PCBs (6-12 layers).
• Familiarity with DFMEA, safety requirements, and regulatory testing (AIS, IEC, ISO).
• Excellent problem-solving, documentation, and leadership skills.
• Bonus: Experience with signal integrity analysis, SPICE simulations, SiC/GaN power devices, or cybersecurity for BMS.
