Job description

Technology Engineer — Responsible for supporting early-stage exploration, concept development, and validation of advanced electrical power transmission and interconnect technologies (including superconducting and cryogenic approaches). You will evaluate emerging conductors, cryogenic systems, and high-current interfaces through modelling, experiments, and prototype work to inform future product and technology roadmaps

Our Team

You will join the PSBU, CCS engineering team in Bangalore — a cross-functional group driving next-generation power-delivery concepts and demonstrators. The team partners closely with simulation, materials, product engineering, test labs, and external research institutions to move high‑impact technologies from idea to validated prototype

What You Will Do

• Scout and synthesize technical literature and industry developments to identify promising superconducting, cryogenic, and advanced conductor technologies.
• Drive hypothesis‑led feasibility studies combining analytical models and multiphysics simulation to evaluate performance, risks, and trade‑offs.
• Design and execute laboratory experiments and characterization plans for electrical, thermal, electromagnetic, and materials performance.
• Develop prototype hardware and test fixtures (including 3D modelling using Siemens NX) to validate concepts and generate actionable data.
• Analyze experimental results, produce technical recommendations, and communicate findings through reports, presentations, and invention disclosures.
• Collaborate with internal product, reliability, and manufacturing teams and with external research partners to translate validated concepts into roadmap opportunities.
• Incorporate applicable standards and compliance considerations (e.g., UL, IEC, IEEE) into technical evaluations and recommendations.

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

• M.Tech. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Applied Physics, Cryogenic Engineering, Superconductivity, Materials Science, Electromagnetics, or a closely related discipline.
• 0–2 years of relevant experience (including thesis work, internships, or research projects).
• Strong fundamentals in electrical engineering, electromagnetics, and power/thermal analysis.
• Demonstrated laboratory measurement and data‑analysis skills; familiarity with experimental methods and test planning.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work in cross‑functional teams

What Will Put You Ahead

• Thesis, publications, patents, or internship experience related to superconductivity, cryogenics, advanced conductors, or high‑current systems.
• Hands‑on experience with multiphysics simulation tools (e.g., COMSOL, ANSYS) and electrical/thermal modelling.
• Experience creating 3D CAD models and layouts in Siemens NX (preferred).
• Familiarity with DFM/DFMEA, reliability engineering, and materials characterization techniques.
• Knowledge of applicable standards and compliance frameworks (UL, IEC, IEEE) and prior engagement with industrial test programs.
