Role Summary:

Act as the technical owner of the complete electric two-wheeler powertrain battery, motor, controller, charger, display, harnesses and connectors integrating individual components into a validated, homologation-ready vehicle system, tuning the application for performance, range and reliability, and leading the test engineering team.

Key Responsibilities:

- System Integration: Own end-to-end integration of battery pack, motor, motor controller, on-board/off-board charger, display/cluster, DC-DC converter, wiring harnesses and connectors into the vehicle.

- System Architecture: Define powertrain system specifications voltage architecture, power and torque targets, communication architecture (CAN matrix, protocols), grounding and EMC strategy.

- Application Engineering: Tune controller maps, ride modes, regen strategy, thermal derating and charging profiles to deliver target performance, range and drivability; match component specs to vehicle use-cases.

- Component Interfacing: Prepare and own interface specifications (electrical, mechanical, communication) between all powertrain components; resolve mismatches between suppliers' components; work day-to-day with the battery designers (mechanical and electrical architects) as peer specialists.

- Supplier Technical Interface: Work with component suppliers in India and China for specification finalisation, sample evaluation, application support and issue resolution; support strategic sourcing in techno-commercial evaluation.

- Vehicle-Level Validation: Plan and lead the powertrain DVP dyno testing, range testing, thermal testing, EMC, durability and field trials; direct the test engineers in execution and build test infrastructure.

- Troubleshooting: Lead root-cause analysis of system-level issues (communication faults, derating, charging failures,



harness issues) using CAN logs, data acquisition and structured problem solving (8D).

- Homologation & Compliance: Ensure the powertrain meets AIS-156, AIS-004, CMVR and EMC requirements; interface with ARAI/ICAT for certification.

- Team Leadership: Manage, coach and develop the two junior test engineers; establish test documentation standards, safety protocols and lab discipline.

Qualifications & Experience:

- B.E./B.Tech in Electrical / Mechanical / Mechatronics Engineering.

- 812 years in EV powertrain development, of which 4+ years in system integration or application engineering for electric two/three-wheelers at OEMs or powertrain suppliers.

- Demonstrated experience integrating hub/mid-drive motors, controllers, chargers, displays and battery packs into production vehicles.

- Strong hands-on capability with CAN tools (CANalyzer, PCAN, Busmaster), dataloggers, dynos and vehicle instrumentation.

- Working knowledge of AIS-156 and Indian homologation processes; exposure to Chinese supplier ecosystems is a robust advantage.

- Prior experience leading small technical teams preferred.

Skills & Competencies:

- System-level thinking with deep component-level understanding across battery, motor, controller and charging.

- Application/calibration mindset translating customer use-cases into component specs and tuning parameters.

- Structured problem solving (8D, DFMEA), test planning (DVP&R;) and technical documentation.

- Strong communication to work across suppliers, sourcing, and vehicle engineering teams.

Key Performance Indicators:

- Powertrain integration milestones and vehicle prototype readiness on time.

- Vehicle-level performance vs. targets (range, top speed, gradeability, charge time).

- System-level issue closure cycle time and field failure PPM.

- Homologation achieved on schedule.
