Systems Engineer – Batteries & Electrical
Department: TEC Electrical & Battery
Experience Level: 3–5 Years
Location: Chennai, India
Position Type: Full time / New Role

About the Role

As a Systems Engineer within the Electrical & Battery Group, you will drive the systems-level development, requirement capture, and aircraft-level integration of our core energy storage and power conversion technologies. Instead of focusing on generic airframe wiring, you will own the systems engineering lifecycle for our high-voltage traction battery packs, Battery Management Systems (BMS HW/SW), high-voltage to low-voltage (HV/LV) DC-DC converters, and the Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS). You will act as the technical bridge ensuring these critical sub-systems seamlessly integrate, communicate, and achieve aerospace certification.

What You Will Do

Sub-System Integration: Define and own the interfaces, boundaries, and system behavior linking the physical Traction Battery Pack, BMS (Hardware & Software), HV/LV Converters, and BTMS to the wider eVTOL aircraft airframe.




Requirements Engineering: Capture, cascade, and track technical requirements from the aircraft level down to components, utilizing SAE ARP4754A guidelines to build out structured Verification Cross-Reference Matrices (VCRM).
Safety & Compliance Mapping: Coordinate functional safety assessments and hazard analyses (SAE ARP4761) specifically around battery thermal runaway, loss of BMS control, and converter power failures.
V&V; Strategy: Design environmental and hardware verification plans targeting compliance with RTCA DO-160 and RTCA DO-254 for EWIS, Power distribution, Power conversion electronics and BMS & BTMS controllers.
Interface & Communication Control: Define and maintain data-bus communications (CAN, CAN-FD, or aerospace equivalents) and electrical grounding architectures to mitigate EMI/EMC issues between high-power traction lines and low-voltage control systems.
