Battery Electrical Power Distribution Engineer – Battery Engineering

Location: India / Bengaluru

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, release, and validation of DCPM components including HV/LV harnesses, busbars, fuses, ICBs, contactors, relays, connectors, and associated protection hardware.
• Use electrical CAD tools, drawing environments, and wiring documentation software to maintain accurate design data.
• Maintain DCPM system schematics, interface definitions, and BMS mapping (DCPM → Module, DCPM → Enclosure).
• Perform analysis using simulation tools such as electrical modeling and thermal analysis.
• Support hardware evaluation using industry-standard HV measurement tools (multimeters, oscilloscopes, HV probes).
• Conduct insulation and safety assessments using Hipot testers, insulation resistance testers, and dielectric testers.
• Support validation using power supplies, electronic loads, data acquisition systems, and harness continuity test tools.
• Prepare and document technical specifications, interface control documents, and subsystem requirements.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to mature concept designs into production-ready solutions.
• Ensure manufacturability and assembly feasibility through DFM/DFA best practices.
• Support Procurement during component reviews and sourcing transitions.
• Drive part readiness including engineering changes and PPAP-equivalent deliverables.
• Lead troubleshooting and root cause analysis for development, EOL, and field issues using appropriate test tools.
• Support certification activities (UL1973, CNS, internal engineering requirements).
• Collaborate with test engineering teams on TestRail or equivalent test-case management systems.
• Support documentation management using PLM tools such as Windchill, and workflow systems such as Jira.
• Participate in design reviews, engineering forums, and milestone evaluations.
• Maintain accurate traceability across all DCPM variants through documentation tools.
• Travel up to 20% to support testing, issue resolution, or validation activities.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
• 5+ years of experience in high-voltage battery systems, energy storage, or automotive HV distribution.
• Strong understanding of HV protection devices, high-current bussing, thermal derating, and subsystem safety.
• Experience with electrical CAD tools, schematic interpretation, and wiring diagram development.
• Familiarity with CAE/simulation tools and evaluation of thermal or electrical behavior.
• Hands-on experience with high-voltage measurement and testing tools.
• Strong data analysis, documentation, and presentation skills.
• Experience working across global, cross-functional teams.
• Action-oriented, self-starter with strong prioritization and decision-making abilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing or validating DCPM hardware, HV busbars, EOL testing systems, or battery subsystem electrical integration.
• Familiarity with UL1973, IEC/ISO standards, APQP processes, and PLM systems (Windchill).
• Hands-on experience performing root‑cause analysis, technical investigations, or test‑based troubleshooting using HV test equipment.
