Job description

Location : Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India (Hybrid – Workshop & Office)

Company : Bad Boy

Employment Type : Full-Time

This Isn’t Just a Job. It’s a Rebellion.

At Bad Boy EV, we’re not here to build boring vehicles. We’re crafting the world’s first electric supertrike. a three-wheeled beast that leans like a superbike, screams from 0-100 km / h in 4.5 seconds, and redefines what it means to ride free. Born in a Chennai garage in 2019, our small but fierce team lives for burnt rubber, late-night breakthroughs, and the thrill of the open road. We’re scaling fast and need a Mechanical Engineer who’s obsessed with cars, lives for innovation, and isn’t afraid to wield a welder or dive under a chassis.

This Role Is for You If :

  • You dream of designing and building cars that turn heads and break molds.
  • You’re itching to get your hands dirty, fabricating, testing, and iterating in a workshop where sparks fly and ideas ignite.
  • You’re a car nut who geeks out over suspension geometry, powertrains, or the roar of a well-tuned machine.
  • You thrive in a multi-disciplinary crew, eager to learn a bit of electrical or software engineering to make your designs unstoppable.

This Role Is NOT for You If :

  • You’re looking for a 9-5 desk job pushing pixels in CAD all day.
  • You’re a generic draftsman who sticks to templates and clocks out early.
  • You’re counting down to the next holiday or shying away from grease and grind.
  • What You’ll Do

  • Design cutting-edge mechanical systems for our supertrike, from AI-enabled tilting suspensions to lightweight chassis that handle like a dream.
  • Master Autodesk Inventor to create precise models, assemblies, and simulations. your designs will go from screen to street.
  • Roll up your sleeves in our Pammal workshop : Weld, fabricate, and assemble prototypes, tweaking powertrains and testing performance under real-world chaos.
  • Push boundaries with innovative solutions, think novel materials, wild suspension ideas, or anything that makes our trike a legend.
  • Collaborate with electrical and software engineers, soaking up cross-disciplinary skills to make our trikes smarter and faster.
  • Run failure analysis, durability tests, and material selection to ensure our rides conquer Indian roads and beyond.
  • Help scale our vision for production, working with suppliers and meeting EV standards (e.G., AIS-038, ISO 26262).
  • What We Need from You

  • Bachelor’s / Master’s in Mechanical Engineering (or related field) with a fire in your belly for automotive innovation.
  • At least 2 years of hands-on experience with Autodesk Inventor, crafting complex assemblies and simulations that translate to real-world builds.
  • Proven fabrication chops : You’ve welded, machined, or built prototypes and love the smell of metal and motor oil.
  • Deep passion for cars, whether it’s tinkering with engines, sketching dream vehicles, or tearing up the road. Tell us about your wildest automotive project in your application.
  • Eagerness to learn beyond mechanical engineering, dabble in electrical systems or code to make our trikes next-level.
  • Comfort with a fast-paced startup vibe where ambiguity is fuel and innovation is oxygen.
  • Chennai-based or ready to relocate.
  • Why Join Bad Boy EV?

  • Build a vehicle that’s never been done before, a chance to leave your mark on the future of mobility.
  • Thrive in a multi-disciplinary crew where learning new skills (from wiring to coding) is part of the ride.
  • Work in a high-energy workshop and office, surrounded by rebels who live for cars, coffee, and breakthroughs.
  • Enjoy flexible hours, team rides, health insurance, and learning stipends to fuel your growth (e.G., EV design or CAD certifications).
  • Be part of a brotherhood that’s all-in, expect late-night hacks, open-road adventures, and a culture that celebrates the journey.
