Role: System Engineering – e-Powertrain
§ Lead the system-level design, integration, and validation of e-powertrain systems including electric motors, inverters, gearbox, battery interfaces, and thermal systems.
§ Define, analyze, and manage system requirements and technical specifications, ensuring alignment with vehicle-level targets and functional safety standards.
§ Develop and maintain system architecture, interface definitions, and signal matrices for e-powertrain components.
§ Collaborate with hardware, software, controls, calibration, and vehicle integration teams to ensure robust system performance and seamless integration.
§ Ensure compliance with functional safety (ISO 26262) and system development standards (ASPICE, CySec ISO 21434, etc.).
§ Lead failure mode analysis, system validation, and verification through simulations, bench tests, and vehicle-level testing.
§ Liaise with component suppliers and internal stakeholders for development timelines, DVP execution, and performance reviews.
§ Design advanced control algorithms for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSM) and Induction Machines.
§ Develop and calibrate motor control software for optimal torque, efficiency, and thermal performance.
§ Lead innovation in motor control strategies including flux weakening, torque ripple reduction, and intelligent direct torque control.
§ Utilize MATLAB/Simulink for modeling of control design and validation of motor control strategies.
§ Collaborate with software and hardware teams to ensure seamless integration of motor control systems.
§ Drive innovation and continuous improvement in system development methodologies and toolchains.
§ Minimum 10 years of hands-on experience in system engineering of electric powertrains for 4-wheeler electric vehicles (EVs).
§ Proven track record in end-to-end product development, from concept to production, of e-powertrain systems, including:
• High-voltage traction systems: traction motors (PMSM/IM), inverters, DC-DC converters, and on-board chargers, junction box, gearbox.
• Mechanical integration of electric drive units (EDUs), transmission interfaces, cooling systems.
• Battery-pack interface understanding including power distribution, contactors, pre-charge circuits, and HV safety.
• Thermal management systems for power electronics and motor cooling.
• Vehicle-level performance target cascading to system and sub-system level (e.g., range, acceleration, NVH, efficiency).
System Engineering:
§ Expertise in defining and managing system and sub-system level requirements using tools like Siemens Polarion / IBM DOORS.
§ Developing and analyzing system architecture diagrams, signal interface definitions, and network communication maps CAN/LIN/Ethernet).
§ Experience in conducting functional safety assessments (ISO 26262): HARA, FMEA, FTA, safety goal definition, and safety concept development.
§ System-level validation and verification planning, including test plan preparation, test execution, and result interpretation.
§ Exposure to simulation tools (MATLAB/Simulink, Amesim, or GT-Power) for modeling the system behavior, energy flow, and thermal loads.
Integration and Collaboration Experience: Cross-functional collaboration with:
§ Electrical and mechanical hardware teams for packaging, wiring harness design, and enclosure layout.
§ Software and controls teams for defining interface specifications and ensuring proper implementation of control strategies.
§ Vehicle integration teams for validating drivability, performance, and system compatibility at the vehicle level.
§ Experience in working with suppliers and partners for component specification finalization, DVP planning, and resolving integration issues.
Project Exposure:
§ Involvement in SOP-focused EV programs, especially those where the candidate led system engineering activities or played a key role in architectural definition.
§ Preferred: Exposure to global EV platforms or cross-geography collaboration with OEM or Tier-1 teams.
§ Exposure to design and development of 6-in-one systems that include traction motor (PMSM/IM), inverter, gearbox, DC-DC converter, on-board charger, junction box.
§ Ability to troubleshoot system-level issues during testing and validation phases and root-cause analysis of integration problems.
Key Competencies
§ Strong systems thinking and problem-solving approach.
§ Ability to lead cross-functional technical discussions and mentor junior engineers.
§ Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
§ High ownership, adaptability, and collaborative mindset.
