Lead Embedded Hardware for Power Electronics

Lead Embedded Hardware (P15)

Role Overview

As a Lead Embedded Hardware for Power Electronics , you will be responsible for the end-to-end design, architecture, development, and validation of embedded control platforms for next-generation power electronic systems—including DC/DC converters, inverters, motor drives, battery management systems and EV charging solutions. Bridging hardware development and real-time embedded firmware implementation, you will drive end-to-end integration, ensuring robust signal integrity, functional safety Compliance, and deliver robust, production-ready solutions for electric vehicles/mobility, renewable energy, and industrial automation. This role requires hands-on ownership, cross-functional collaboration, and a commitment to high-performance, scalable embedded design.

Key Responsibilities

Design embedded hardware platforms for power electronics systems, including control boards, analog/digital, mixed-signal interface design, sensor integration, and protection strategy implementation for DC/DC, AC/DC, and inverter topologies.
Control & Interface Hardware Design
Sensing, Measurement and I/O Circuits
Power Supply & Auxiliary Circuits
Protection circuits
Digital logic circuits
Perform schematic capture, component selection, and PCB layout reviews with a focus on signal integrity, thermal reliability, and EMI/EMC compliance.
Conduct hardware bring-up, interface testing, and system-level debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, and power analysers.
Simulate the circuit subsystems analog circuits, signal conditioning etc.
Knowledge of MATLAB/Simulink and PLECS.
Ensure compliance with relevant IEC, UL standards.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (power electronics, mechanical, systems, validation, certification) to define control architectures, timing constraints, safety-critical behaviours and ensure seamless hardware-software integration.
Generate and maintain comprehensive design documentation, including schematics, BOMs, firmware architecture, test protocols, ICD’s, safety plans, and verification reports
Support DFM, DFMEA, and HIL testing activities, contributing to design refinement and product maturity from prototype to production.
Testing of the boards along with the full units.
Develop requirements for the cards based on the application.

Required Qualifications And Experience
