Ultraviolette Automotive Private Limited | Full time

Principal Electronics Engineer - Embedded Hardware

At Ultraviolette, we're more than a company—we’re a movement. A movement that's pushing the boundaries of what's possible in electric mobility. From engineering India’s Fastest Motorcycle to designing The World’s Most Advanced Electric Scooter, we thrive on innovation, audacity, and the relentless pursuit of performance.

We’re a diverse team of trailblazers, engineers, designers, creatives and visionaries—united by a shared obsession: to craft machines that are not only sustainable but exhilarating. Here, radical design meets intelligent technology, and every line of code or bolt of hardware brings us closer to reshaping the future of mobility.

Our mission is to accelerate the evolution of mobility across the globe - and we’re just getting started.

If you're driven by purpose, inspired by possibility, and ready to build something that truly matters, Ultraviolette is the place where your ambition becomes impact. Let's create the future—together.

As a Principal/Lead Electronics Engineer – Embedded Hardware , your roles and responsibilities include:

1. Vehicle Electronics Architecture

• Design, build and bring into production high performance electronics hardware such as vehicle control units, display clusters, telematics that include RF circuits, and sensor electronics.
• Extract requirements from different component systems, firmware systems, software systems and vehicle systems to define architectures for high-speed electronic design of control units and telematics.
• Develop and maintain system-level schematics, interface definitions, and communication protocols (CAN, LIN, UART, SPI, I2C).

2. Embedded Systems Design

• Design the architecture and native hardware using high-speed, high-performance microprocessors and micro-controllers for supporting automotive OS, graphics, vision systems, audio systems, radar/LIDAR systems.
• Architect and design/validate connected vehicle systems including GNSS, LTE, BLE and Wi‑Fi.
• Lead the design, development and integration of embedded hardware for vehicle functions such as lighting, indicators, horn, immobiliser, cluster and IMUs.
• Collaborate with firmware teams to define hardware-software interfaces, bootloaders, and OTA update mechanisms.
• Develop and implement UDS‑based diagnostics, fault logging, and service tools.
• Ensure compliance with AIS‑004, ISO 26262, and other relevant automotive manufacturing and design standards.

4. Testing & Validation

• Define and execute test plans for bench‑level and vehicle‑level validation.
• Use tools like Vector CANoe , CANalyzer, ETAS INCA, oscilloscopes, network/spectrum analysers for debugging and validation.

5. Cross‑functional Collaboration

• Work closely with mechanical, software, powertrain, wire‑harness, and UX teams to ensure system‑level integration.
• Work with cloud and mobile app teams to ensure real‑time data streaming, diagnostics, and remote‑control features.
• Participate in design reviews, FMEA sessions, and field issue resolution.
  

Requirements

What we are looking for:

• B.E./B. Tech or M.E./M. Tech in Electronics, Electrical, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• 8+ years of experience in embedded hardware development, preferably in 2W/EV domain.
• Hands on experience with scripting languages (Python, MATLAB, Octave) and coding languages (Embedded C) is preferred.
• Hands‑on experience with relevant hardware design/simulation software tools (PSPICE, LTSPICE, SIMPLIS, Simmetrix).
• Background in RF circuit design, SI/PI analyses, impedance analyses, RF simulation is preferred.
• Knowledge on best practices from board design point‑of‑view for EMI/EMC compliant design.
• Highly skilled at problem solving and debugging embedded hardware circuits.
• Experience in bringing into practice complex embedded hardware via thorough testing and validation on component and system level.
• Knowledge of PCB design tools (OrCAD, Altium, Mentor Graphics or others) including schematic capture, board layout, stack‑up and impedance‑controlled designs, DFM methodologies/constraints.
• Background in design and development of high‑speed, high‑performance embedded systems hardware involving numerous multi‑core micro‑processors, micro‑controllers, graphic controllers, SOM modules and volatile/non‑volatile memory chips.
