Job Title: Hardware Design & Development Engineer

Location: Bangalore (Onsite)

Duration: Full-time opportunity

Joining: Immediate Joiner

Company: EMotorad

Company Description:

We see ourselves as a bunch of crazy maniacs who refuse to understand "It Can Not Happen".

People know us for building the most awesome e-bikes (electric bicycles) but, how we see it is "We believe we are changing the world, one e-bike at a time, and playing a part in bringing India to the Global map for EVs." The company aims to bring across top-quality e-bikes which would currently cost way more in the Indian market at an affordable price utilising its local sourcing and manufacturing capabilities.

Let's talk numbers:

We are currently the market leader in India across the e-bike category and are just on the verge of announcing our series A.

Having grown from a team of 5 to now 150+ across the globe, from a small garage to now offices across 15 countries and clocking in INR 300+ Cr revenue in first three years of operations. We have raised series B from global investors.

We think this is a great start to our exciting journey.

Come, join us, help us transform the world, mobility and have a blast while doing it! Think you are the right fit? Feel free to apply!!

Job Description:

We are looking for a highly skilled candidate to play a key role in the design, development, and testing of advanced electrical & electronic hardware solutions. Your expertise in hardware design and proficiency in PCB layout and fabrication processes will contribute to the creation of high-performance and reliable electric mobility solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

- Hardware Design: Preferred experience in developing controller units for EVs such as BMS, MCU, VCU, Telematics, Instrument Cluster, etc.

- Board Level Design: Select optimal architectures and components for board-level schematic and layout, ensuring robust and cost-optimised designs.

- PCB Design: Create intricate up to 8-layer PCB layouts for both high and low-power applications.

- Power Electronics: Apply hands-on experience in various power electronic topologies, including PFC, Flyback, Half bridge, LLC, and Phase shift.

- Collaboration: Collaborate closely with project management and developers to coordinate testing activities at all stages of product development.

- Functional Safety: Work on Functional Safety Test Plans, conduct testing, and maintain documentation in accordance with ISO 26262 standards.

- Be a hands-on Technologist, i.e., translate system-level specifications into working logic and hardware.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers, firmware developers, and mechanical designers, to ensure seamless integration of PCB designs.

- Work with the 8/16/32 Micro controllers and other high speed signals USB, CAN, UART, and SPI.

- Communication with Component manufacturers/vendors for part choice design support.

- Select appropriate electronic components based on cost, performance, and reliability considerations.

- Utilise industry-standard PCB design tools (e.g., Altium, cadence or any equivalent PCB tool) to create schematics and layouts that adhere to electrical constraints, thermal management, and manufacturability requirements.

- Circuit design of Digital, Analog Power and mixed signals and verification through simulation tools like LTspice, PSpice etc.

- Implementation of EMI/EMC reduction methods and EX protection.

- PCB design includes Schematic capture, Board design, Gerber release and board bring-up.

- Generate detailed technical documentation, including design files, bill of materials (BOM), assembly instructions, and test procedures.

- Conduct thorough design verification and testing to ensure functionality, reliability, and compliance (BIS, IPC, UL, CE, RoHS) with industry standards and specifications through own lab or any other third-party labs.

- Hands-on experience in PCB layout and fabrication processes, considering design rules, stack-up, impedance control, and design for manufacturing (DFM, DFA) considerations. Provide technical support to manufacturing/EMS partners and suppliers during the production phase, resolving any design-related issues.

- Excellent troubleshooting skills using oscilloscopes, multimeters, other test equipment and SMD soldering.

Qualifications:

- Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical and Electronics Engineering or a related field.

- 2 to 5 yrs. hands-on experience in hardware design, debugging, and testing.

- Proficiency in designing and developing hardware for EV chargers, BMS, Motor Control Units, and power converters.

- Familiarity with Functional Safety testing and ISO 26262 standards.

- Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

- Effective communication and teamwork abilities.

- Passion for electric mobility and a commitment to sustainable transportation solutions.
