Power Electronics Engineer - EV

Power Electronics Engineer — Core Team (EV Startup)

Location: On-site, India
Employment Type: Full-time
Compensation: ₹50,000–₹56,000 per month (CTC). Performance review post-MVP; ESOPs may be considered after external funding.

About Us

We are a young EV startup focused on integrating advanced energy systems into two-wheelers. The underlying technology is proven internationally, but has not been commercialized in India. Our goal is to design, prototype, and bring this innovation to market at scale.

This is not a large corporate environment. We operate with limited resources, an early-stage setup, and a strong belief in solving difficult problems with determination. If you are someone who values building real hardware, seeing your designs in action, and being part of the core technical team from the start, this role is for you.

Role Overview

As a Power Electronics Engineer, you will lead the design, implementation, and testing of a hybrid power subsystem for EV applications. Your work will directly shape the MVP prototype and future IP filings.

Responsibilities

• Design and validate high-power DC/DC converter stages for hybrid energy storage.
• Develop and implement embedded control algorithms on MCUs (STM32, TI, Infineon, etc.).
• Handle schematic, PCB layout, and component selection for power circuits.
• Test and debug prototypes, including efficiency measurements and thermal performance.
• Collaborate with associates and CAD interns to accelerate prototype iteration.
• Maintain engineering logs and documentation for future patents and scale-up.

Qualifications

• B.E./B.Tech (EEE/ECE) or equivalent with 1–4 years of experience in power electronics.
• Strong understanding of DC/DC conversion, BMS basics, switching devices, and control loops.
• Hands-on experience building and testing converters (not just simulations).
• Proficiency in embedded C/C++ for real-time control.
• Familiarity with oscilloscopes, analyzers, and test setups for high-power systems.

Preferred Experience

• EV/traction systems, regenerative energy capture, or energy storage converters.
• Knowledge of EMI/EMC mitigation, thermal management, and rapid prototyping.
• Prior exposure to start-ups, Formula Student, or resource-constrained R&D projects.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work on technology not yet commercialized in India.
• Role as part of the core founding technical team.
• Transparent salary structure (₹50k–56k/month).
• Direct exposure to MVP building, patent development, and real-world testing.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: ₹50,000.00 - ₹56,000.00 per month

Application Question(s):

• Have you developed projects involving MOSFETs and IGBTs?
• How many years of hands-on experience do you have in power electronics design (DC/DC, inverters, converters)?
• Are you comfortable working in a startup environment with limited infrastructure, where hands-on prototyping and problem-solving are expected?

Experience:

• hands on: 2 years (Preferred)
