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.
