Job Title: Electric Powertrain Architect

Location: Bangalore

Department: Energy & Charging

Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical

Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced and innovative Electric Powertrain Architect to lead the design, integration, and optimization of next-generation electric propulsion systems. This role will be instrumental in defining & developing system-level architecture for electric drivetrains, collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure performance, efficiency, safety, and scalability.

Key Responsibilities:

- Define and develop the end-to-end architecture of electric powertrain systems, including motor, inverter, battery pack, DC/DC converters, onboard chargers, and control units.
- Lead system-level trade studies, simulations, and modeling to ensure optimal design decisions.
- Collaborate with hardware and software teams to develop all subsystems for optimal performance and cost.
- Ensure compliance with industry standards, safety regulations (ISO 26262, ISO 21434), and OEM requirements.
- Manage requirements engineering for the electric powertrain system and maintain traceability.
- Oversee the integration of powertrain components into vehicle platforms (including thermal, mechanical, and electrical interfaces).
- Coordinate validation and testing strategies for system-level performance, durability, and efficiency.
- Serve as the technical authority for electric powertrain architecture in concept development, design reviews, and supplier engagements.




- Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies, such as SiC inverters, and high-voltage battery systems (400V / 800V).
- Support cost and weight optimization initiatives without compromising system performance or reliability.

Qualifications:

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
- 10+ years of experience in electric powertrain design or system architecture, preferably in the automotive or mobility industry.
- Strong understanding of electric motors (PMSM, induction), inverters, HV batteries, and control systems.
- Proficiency with simulation tools like MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent.
- Experience with system engineering tools (e.g., IBM DOORS, Polarion, SysML/UML).
- Familiarity with vehicle communication protocols (CAN, LIN, FlexRay).
- Knowledge of thermal management, and EMC considerations in EV systems.
- Strong problem-solving, leadership, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience in mass production programs for EVs or hybrids.
- Knowledge of model-based systems engineering (MBSE).
- Exposure to Agile or SAFe development environments.
- Hands-on experience with vehicle testing.
- Power electronics knowledge

What We Offer:

- Opportunity to shape the future of sustainable mobility.
- Work in a fast-paced, innovative setting with cutting-edge technology.
- Competitive compensation and benefits.
- A collaborative, multidisciplinary team culture.
