About Zeno

An unprecedented energy transition has begun. To meet 2040 net zero goals, over 2 billion electric two-wheelers (motorcycles) must be sold and $11 trillion in fuel consumption replaced. Zeno is building a tech platform to electrify this two-wheeler market, currently responsible for more than 4% of the world’s GHG emissions. Our mission is to accelerate the energy transition and democratize the benefits across Africa, India, and Latin America. With a focus on East Africa as a starting point, Zeno is building a new energy ecosystem with ground-up development of a fundamentally better electric motorcycle and associated battery swap network to drive a better experience for our customers.

The Role

Zeno is seeking a BMS Hardware Engineer to design, develop, and validate the Battery Management System hardware for our next-generation electric motorcycles. This role requires strong expertise in power electronics, analog and digital circuit design, and safety-critical automotive hardware development. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure Zeno’s battery systems are safe, reliable, and optimized for performance and cost.

What You’ll Do

• Own the end-to-end design and development of BMS hardware including schematics, PCB design, and component selection.
• Design analog and digital circuits for cell monitoring, balancing, current / voltage sensing, and thermal management.
• Develop power supply and protection circuits including buck-boost converters, LDOs, and isolation designs.
• Ensure compliance with automotive safety and reliability standards (ISO 26262, AIS156, AIS004, AIS038).
• Collaborate with suppliers and manufacturing partners for component selection, PCB fabrication, and assembly validation.
• Conduct hardware bring-up, debugging, and validation testing for BMS boards.
• Draft test plans and work closely with firmware engineers to validate hardware–software integration.
• Prepare and manage BOMs, ensuring cost optimization without compromising safety and quality.
• Support DFMEA, DFM, DFA, and design reviews to ensure robust hardware development.
• Drive certification and homologation testing with external agencies and labs.
