Lead Engineer

Area of Responsibility

Lead the end-to-end hardware development of power electronics systems including BMS and battery management interfaces.

Define system hardware architecture and component specifications for high-voltage (400V–800V) battery systems.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanical, thermal, and systems engineering to ensure seamless integration.

Oversee simulation, modelling, and analysis of power electronics circuits using tools like PLECS, MATLAB / Simulink, or LTspice.

Guide PCB layout for high-power designs ensuring EMI / EMC compliance and thermal management.

Drive validation and testing of prototypes in lab and vehicle environments.

Ensure compliance with automotive standards such as ISO 26262, AEC-Q100, and functional safety.

Select and integrate components such as MCUs, ADCs, op-amps, shunt resistors, Hall-effect sensors, and isolation devices.

Develop schematics and PCB layouts using tools like Altium Designer, OrCAD, or KiCAD, and automotive standards.

Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and validation teams to ensure seamless system integration.

Conduct hardware validation, bring-up, and debugging using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power analyzers, etc.).

Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical reviews and design documentation.

Act as the point of authority for complex engineering problems.

Documenting and generating system requirements and Hardware specifications in a traceable way with test cases to facilitate smooth validation of features at detail and high-level abstractions. Take responsibility for the specification, flow-down and acceptance of sub-system / component requirements to internal development teams.
