Roles & Responsibilities:

1. Technical Framework Design and Model Development

● Develop comprehensive and adaptable operational blueprints, safety manuals, and playbooks for decentralized technology assembly and maintenance.

● Ensure all R&D innovations are scalable, reliable, and replicable across diverse last-mile rural contexts spanning multiple states.

● Align R&D; project delivery pathways with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).

2. In-House Battery Pack Production & Quality Control ("Bindi Shakti Battery")

● Lead and optimize technical operations for the in-house battery pack assembly unit, standardizing production for five core configurations.

● Supervise quality standards, safety thresholds, and technical compliance across multiple cell chemistries:

○ NMC Configurations – 3.7V–7.8Ah cells for micro-lighting systems; 36V (7.8Ah/10Ah) battery

packs for light electric vehicles.

○ LFP Configurations – 12.8V (30Ah & 42Ah) battery packs optimized for Solar Home Systems and emergency power storage.

● Implement strict hardware validation protocols, including Internal Resistance (IR) testing, spot-welding uniformity checks, high/low voltage cutoff verification, and thermal safety cycling.

● Establish frameworks to prototype, test, and manufacture custom battery packs based on client specifications for E-Bicycles, E-Bikes, E-Scooters, and E-Rickshaws.

3. E-Mobility Platform Integration & Optimization ("Sakthi Cycle")

● Coordinate end-to-end engineering, Bill of Materials (BOM), and assembly workflows for the Sakthi Cycle e-mobility platform.





● Ensure component compatibility and performance integration across 250W BLDC hub motors, 36V smart controllers, 6-magnet Pedal Assist Sensors (PAS), and dual disc braking systems.

● Validate performance and safety standards in compliance with regulatory norms, including a maximum speed limit of 25 km/h and a target operational range of 40–50 km.

● Adapt high-tensile carbon steel chassis designs for rugged rural usage, optimizing heavy-duty cargo carriers, integrated lighting systems, and horn systems.

4. Training, Capacity Building, and Field Deployment

● Translate complex engineering specifications, wiring diagrams, and diagnostic manuals into accessible, visual training modules.

● Conduct continuous capacity-building workshops for rural women engineers to enhance their confidence and competence in electrical troubleshooting, field repairs, and hardware safety.

● Support field teams during regional pilot deployments to ensure successful implementation and long-term sustainability.

5. Monitoring, Evaluation, and Compliance

● Establish robust testing frameworks and product lifecycle tracking systems to monitor battery degradation, field failure rates, and product performance over time.

● Ensure all manufactured systems comply with relevant industrial certifications and standards, including IS 16045 and BIS requirements.

● Analyze field performance data to continuously refine and improve hardware engineering designs.

6. Stakeholder Management & Documentation





● Build and maintain robust collaborative relationships among internal execution teams, external component suppliers, B2B enterprise clients, and institutional partners.

● Maintain accurate technical records, assembly documentation, progress trackers, and case studies demonstrating technological impact on rural livelihood generation.
