Our engineering teams design and develop products across Battery Management Systems (BMS), EV Chargers, Motor Controllers, DC-DC Converters and other automotive electronic systems for leading EV manufacturers in India and global markets.\nWe are looking for a Senior Hardware Design Engineer who can take complete ownership of complex electronic hardware from architecture and component selection through circuit design, PCB development, validation and production.\nThis is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys solving challenging hardware problems and wants to see their designs deployed in real products at scale.\nWhat you'll do:\nOwn the end-to-end hardware development of automotive electronic control boards from requirements, architecture and component selection to schematic, PCB, prototype, validation and production.\nDesign and develop analog, digital and power electronics for BMS, EV chargers, motor controllers, DC-DC converters and other high-power electronic systems.\nPerform detailed circuit analysis, simulation, component selection, design calculations and design reviews to ensure robust product performance.\nDesign and review high-current/high-voltage power stages, including MOSFETs, IGBTs, diodes, gate drivers and associated protection circuitry.\nDevelop robust MCU/DSP-based control electronics, including signal conditioning, sensing, communication interfaces and board-level power supplies.\nLead PCB architecture and layout decisions including component placement, current-loop optimization, power/signal partitioning, thermal considerations, creepage/clearance, parasitic inductance/capacitance and EMC performance.\nDrive hardware designs through EVT/DVT/PVT, validation, debugging and production release, working closely with Firmware, Systems, Mechanical, Test, Quality and Manufacturing teams.\nDesign for cost, manufacturability, reliability and scalability, including products manufactured at 100k+ unit volumes.\nLead hardware troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of issues observed during development, validation and field deployment.\nEnsure compliance with applicable automotive electrical, EMC/EMI, environmental, reliability, safety and functional-safety requirements.\nWork closely with the BMS Hardware/Firmware teams to develop and validate production and engineering test equipment.\nMentor junior hardware engineers and contribute to improving Maxwell's hardware design practices, reviews, component selection and engineering processes.\nMust Have Requirements:\n5+ years of hands-on experience in electronics hardware/product development within a design and manufacturing environment.\nStrong fundamentals in analog, digital and power electronics.\nProven experience taking electronic products from concept → schematic → PCB → prototype → validation → production.\nStrong experience with Altium Designer for schematic capture and PCB design/review.\nExperience with MOSFET/IGBT/diode selection, gate-driver design, protection circuits and high-current power electronics.\nExperience with MCUs/DSPs and their peripheral circuitry, including sensing, signal conditioning, communication interfaces and power supplies.\nStrong understanding of PCB layout for power integrity, signal integrity, thermal performance and EMI/EMC.\nExperience with circuit simulation and design-analysis tools.\nUnderstanding of DFM/DFA, component derating, reliability and design-for-cost principles.\nAbility to independently debug complex hardware using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, electronic loads, power supplies, multimeters and other diagnostic equipment.\nGood understanding of hardware validation and product qualification methodologies.\nStrong written and verbal English communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with global engineering teams.\nBachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering (EEE/ECE) or equivalent practical experience.\nNice to Have:\nExperience with Li-ion batteries, BMS, EV chargers, motor controllers, DC-DC converters or other automotive power electronics.\nExperience working on automotive products and production-intent hardware.\nFamiliarity with Functional Safety (FuSa), ASPICE and automotive hardware development processes.\nExperience with EMI/EMC testing and troubleshooting.\nExperience with high-voltage isolation, insulation coordination, creepage/clearance and safety-critical hardware.\nExperience taking products through DV/PV, certification and mass production.\nExperience working with 100k+ annual production volumes.\nWhy Maxwell?\nAt Maxwell, you will work on real EV products that go into the hands of customers, rather than prototype-only electronics.\nYou will get the opportunity to work across the complete hardware development lifecycle, solve challenging problems in power electronics and automotive systems, and work closely with a multidisciplinary engineering team.\nIf you are an engineer who enjoys owning difficult hardware problems from first principles all the way to production, we'd like to hear from you.\nApply and build the future of electric mobility with Maxwell Energy.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5212,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate
