Lead BMS Hardware Engineer (7+ years of experience)
About Xbattery
Xbattery is a deep-tech energy startup building BharatBMS – a unified, modular Battery Management System platform for both Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Energy Storage Systems (ESS). We’re incubated at T-Works, Hyderabad, and are working with leading OEMs and energy companies to design scalable, secure, and India-compliant BMS solutions that rival the best in the world.
Role Overview
As Lead BMS Hardware Engineer, you will own the end-to-end hardware design of our BMS boards
from 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.
What We’re Looking For
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical / Electronics Engineering or related field.7+ years of experience in hardware design, with at least 3+ years in BMS / EV / automotive electronics.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.Why Join Us?
