About Kimbal

Kimbal is building the infrastructure layer for India’s energy transition. We design, manufacture, and deploy end-to-end smart metering solutions — smart meters, K-Mesh communication networks, and HES platforms — that serve utilities, discoms, and government bodies at scale. Ours is a B2B and B2G business operating at the intersection of hardware, embedded systems, and data intelligence.

We are not a consumer electronics company. We build mission-critical infrastructure that runs for 15+ years in the field, often in extreme conditions, touching millions of energy consumers. We hold form, function, and user experience to the same standard. We have global ambitions and we are building the team to match.

Why this role exists

Our mechanical and electronics teams define the functional skeleton of every product. Your job is to take that skeleton and design something that is field-proven, manufacturable at cost,



intuitive for every person who interacts with it — from the assembly line worker to the utility vigilance officer — and carries the Kimbal design language forward into every market we enter.

The Context

A Kimbal smart meter is not a consumer device. It sits outside the home, untouched for months, yet it is handled by at least seven distinct user archetypes across its operational life. Reliability, manufacturability, and tamper-resistance are non-negotiable. But a product that is hard to install, impossible to read in the field, or costly to produce at scale is a product that fails commercially.

We work with real constraints: relay shielding against magnet tamper attacks requires air gaps and metal shields. High-voltage variants up to 35kW impose specific PCB and terminal footprint requirements. Unit economics at high volumes mean the enclosure, finish, and assembly method must all be optimised for cost. ID at Kimbal is a discipline, not decoration.
