Lead Hardware Engineer – Inverter & Motor Control Systems

About the role

As a Lead Hardware Engineer for Inverter and Motor Control Systems, you will drive the design and development of advanced automotive power electronics hardware.

Key responsibilities

• Act as the primary technical interface for external stakeholders, ECU customer teams, and functional teams to manage motor control, thermal, reliability, and software interfaces.
• Lead requirement studies, define hardware architecture, and design or modify robust circuits for automotive power electronics products.
• Develop and optimise motor control and inverter circuits, including gate drivers, DC‑link capacitor sizing, power‑supply modules and sensor interfaces.
• Design advanced power‑electronics systems such as buck/boost converters, LDOs, perform power budgeting, thermal calculations and simulations.
• Architect low‑voltage (<100 V) and high‑voltage (up to 800 V) power‑supply modules, including PFC, flyback converters, isolation concepts and grounding topologies.
• Conduct schematic design and review, manage BOM/EBOM, and oversee multi‑layer PCB layout reviews.
• Perform complex circuit calculations using Mathcad and simulations with MATLAB, PSpice and LTspice.
• Lead laboratory testing, measurements, debugging and validation of prototype ECUs.

Required profile

• 6 to 10 years of experience in senior/lead hardware design for automotive power electronics.
• B.E., M.E., B.Tech or M.Tech in Electrical/Electronics Engineering (EEE preferred); full‑time engineering graduation mandatory.

Required skills

• Inverter and motor‑control circuit design, gate‑driver development, DC‑link capacitor sizing.
• Power‑supply module design, buck/boost and flyback converters, PFC, low‑ and high‑voltage architectures.
• Thermal analysis, power budgeting, thermal simulations, grounding and isolation strategies.
• Schematic capture, BOM/EBOM management, multi‑layer PCB layout.
• Proficiency with Mathcad, MATLAB, PSpice, LTspice for calculations and simulations.
• Laboratory testing, prototype debugging, ECU validation.
• Analog and digital circuit design, Worst‑Case Analysis, DFMEA/FMEA, EMC design, Functional Safety (ISO 26262) compliance.
