Role & responsibilities

We are seeking an accomplished Technical & Engineering Leader to provide technology and organizational leadership for Power Electronics, Electrical Drives, Motor Control, Actuation and Control Systems for advanced land defence platforms.

Core Technical Expertise

Robust expertise in Power Electronics | Electrical Drives | Motor Control | Control Systems

Embedded/Real-Time Control | Electrical Power Systems | High-Power/High-Power-

Density Converters | Inverters & Motor Drives | Gun-Turret Drives | Gun Control &

Stabilization | Actuation | Intelligent Power Management | Advanced Control Algorithms

Model-Based Engineering.

Strong system-level understanding across electrical, electronics, mechanical, embedded software, sensing, actuation and control interfaces is essential.

Domain Experience

Experience in defence, aerospace, automotive, heavy mobility, industrial drives or other high-reliability industries is preferred. Direct experience with armoured/artillery/air-

defence platforms, gun-turret systems, gun control and stabilization, weapon actuation,

electro-mechanical actuation or mission-critical control systems will be strongly preferred.

Knowledge of military environmental qualification, EMI/EMC, shock & vibration,

reliability, safety and defence product qualification processes is desirable.

Key Responsibilities

- Provide technical vision and strategic direction for power electronics, electrical drives, motion control, actuation and electrical power management systems.
- Act as the senior technical authority for Power Electronics, Drives & Control

Systems; define architectures, technology roadmaps, engineering standards and reusable platforms.
- Lead system/subsystem architecture and design reviews covering requirements,

functional decomposition, interfaces, technology selection, trade-offs,



verification and validation.
- Architect and develop DC/DC converters, DC/AC inverters, motor drives, power distribution/management, battery charging and auxiliary power systems.
- Provide technical leadership in selection and application of IGBT, SiC MOSFET and advanced power semiconductor technologies, including switching, magnetics,

thermal management, protection and packaging.
- Lead advanced motor-drive solutions for gun-turret actuation, gun control &

stabilization, weapon-system actuation, steering/mobility and other mission-

critical actuators, covering PMSM, BLDC, induction and servo motors.

- Drive development of real-time embedded control systems and advanced control algorithms including current/torque/speed control, field-oriented control,

sensorless control, position/motion control, servo control, power management and fault diagnostics.
- Promote MATLAB/Simulink, model-based engineering, PLECS/PSIM, SIL/HIL, rapid control prototyping and system-level simulation/verification.
- Ensure robust hardware/software/mechanical/control integration and optimize power density, efficiency, dynamic response, thermal performance, reliability and maintainability.
- Lead technical activities related to environmental qualification, EMI/EMC,

shock/vibration, electrical safety, reliability, system integration and field acceptance.
- Resolve complex technical issues, integration challenges and field failures through structured root-cause analysis and corrective action.
- Work closely with systems engineering, mechanical, electronics, embedded software, vehicle integration, weapons and platform teams.
- Build and lead a high-performing multidisciplinary organization spanning power electronics, drives, controls, electrical engineering and embedded systems; mentor technical leaders and develop succession capability.
