Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced and innovative Electric Powertrain Architect to lead the design, integration, and optimization of next-generation electric propulsion systems. This role will be instrumental in defining & developing system-level architecture for electric drivetrains, collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure performance, efficiency, safety, and scalability.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and develop the end-to-end architecture of electric powertrain systems, including motor, inverter, battery pack, DC/DC converters, onboard chargers, and control units.
• Lead system-level trade studies, simulations, and modeling to ensure optimal design decisions.
• Collaborate with hardware and software teams to develop all subsystems for optimal performance and cost.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards, safety regulations (ISO 26262, ISO 21434), and OEM requirements.
• Manage requirements engineering for the electric powertrain system and maintain traceability.
• Oversee the integration of powertrain components into vehicle platforms (including thermal, mechanical, and electrical interfaces).
• Coordinate validation and testing strategies for system-level performance, durability, and efficiency.
• Serve as the technical authority for electric powertrain architecture in concept development, design reviews, and supplier engagements.
• Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies, such as SiC inverters, and high-voltage battery systems (400V / 800V).
• Support cost and weight optimization initiatives without compromising system performance or reliability.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• 10+ years of experience in electric powertrain design or system architecture, preferably in the automotive or mobility industry.
• Strong understanding of electric motors (PMSM, induction), inverters, HV batteries, and control systems.
• Proficiency with simulation tools like MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent.
• Experience with system engineering tools (e.g., IBM DOORS, Polarion, SysML/UML).
• Familiarity with vehicle communication protocols (CAN, LIN, FlexRay).
• Knowledge of thermal management, and EMC considerations in EV systems.
• Strong problem-solving, leadership, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in mass production programs for EVs or hybrids.
• Knowledge of model-based systems engineering (MBSE).
• Exposure to Agile or SAFe development environments.
• Hands‑on experience with vehicle testing.
• Power electronics knowledge

What We Offer

• Opportunity to shape the future of sustainable mobility.
• Work in a fast-paced, innovative environment with cutting‑edge technology.
• Competitive compensation and benefits.
• A collaborative, multidisciplinary team culture.
