Senior Hardware Design Engineer

Maxwell Energy Systems is building the next generation of intelligent electronics for electric mobility. Our engineering teams design and develop products across

Battery Management Systems (BMS), EV Chargers, Motor Controllers, DC-DC Converters and other automotive electronic systems

for leading EV manufacturers in India and global markets.

We are looking for a

Senior Hardware Design Engineer

who can take complete ownership of complex electronic hardware from architecture and component selection through circuit design, PCB development, validation and production.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys solving challenging hardware problems and wants to see their designs deployed in real products at scale.

What you'll do:

• Own the

end-to-end hardware development

of automotive electronic control boards from requirements, architecture and component selection to schematic, PCB, prototype, validation and production.

• Design and develop

analog, digital and power electronics

for BMS, EV chargers, motor controllers, DC-DC converters and other high-power electronic systems.

• Perform detailed

circuit analysis, simulation, component selection, design calculations and design reviews

to ensure robust product performance.

• Design and review

high-current/high-voltage power stages

, including MOSFETs, IGBTs, diodes, gate drivers and associated protection circuitry.

• Develop robust

MCU/DSP-based control electronics

, including signal conditioning, sensing, communication interfaces and board-level power supplies.

• Lead PCB architecture and layout decisions including

component placement, current-loop optimization, power/signal partitioning, thermal considerations, creepage/clearance, parasitic inductance/capacitance and EMC performance

.

• Drive hardware designs through

EVT/DVT/PVT, validation, debugging and production release

, working closely with Firmware, Systems, Mechanical, Test, Quality and Manufacturing teams.

• Design for

cost, manufacturability, reliability and scalability

, including products manufactured at

100k+ unit volumes

.

• Lead hardware troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of issues observed during development, validation and field deployment.
• Ensure compliance with applicable

automotive electrical, EMC/EMI, environmental, reliability, safety and functional-safety requirements

.

• Work closely with the BMS Hardware/Firmware teams to develop and validate

production and engineering test equipment

.

• Mentor junior hardware engineers and contribute to improving Maxwell's

hardware design practices, reviews, component selection and engineering processes

.

Must Have Requirements:

5+ years of hands-on experience

in electronics hardware/product development within a design and manufacturing environment.

• Strong fundamentals in

analog, digital and power electronics

.

• Proven experience taking electronic products from

concept → schematic → PCB → prototype → validation → production

.

• Strong experience with

Altium Designer

for schematic capture and PCB design/review.

• Experience with

MOSFET/IGBT/diode selection, gate-driver design, protection circuits and high-current power electronics

.

• Experience with

MCUs/DSPs and their peripheral circuitry

, including sensing, signal conditioning, communication interfaces and power supplies.

• Strong understanding of

PCB layout for power integrity, signal integrity, thermal performance and EMI/EMC

.

• Experience with

circuit simulation and design-analysis tools

.

• Understanding of

DFM/DFA, component derating, reliability and design-for-cost

principles.

• Ability to independently debug complex hardware using laboratory equipment such as

oscilloscopes, electronic loads, power supplies, multimeters and other diagnostic equipment

.

• Good understanding of hardware validation and product qualification methodologies.
• Strong written and verbal

English communication skills

, with the ability to collaborate effectively with global engineering teams.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in

Electrical/Electronics Engineering (EEE/ECE)

or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with

Li-ion batteries, BMS, EV chargers, motor controllers, DC-DC converters or other automotive power electronics

.

• Experience working on

automotive products and production-intent hardware

.

• Familiarity with

Functional Safety (FuSa), ASPICE and automotive hardware development processes

.

• Experience with

EMI/EMC testing and troubleshooting

.

• Experience with

high-voltage isolation, insulation coordination, creepage/clearance and safety-critical hardware

.

• Experience taking products through

DV/PV, certification and mass production

.

• Experience working with

100k+ annual production volumes

.

Why Maxwell?

At Maxwell, you will work on

real EV products that go into the hands of customers

, rather than prototype-only electronics.
You will get the opportunity to work across the complete hardware development lifecycle, solve challenging problems in

power electronics and automotive systems

, and work closely with a multidisciplinary engineering team.
If you are an engineer who enjoys

owning difficult hardware problems from first principles all the way to production

, we'd like to hear from you.

Apply and build the future of electric mobility with Maxwell Energy.
