Instead of focusing on generic airframe wiring, you will own the systems engineering lifecycle for our high-voltage traction battery packs, Battery Management Systems (BMS HW/SW), high-voltage to low-voltage (HV/LV) DC-DC converters, and the Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS). You will act as the technical bridge ensuring these critical sub-systems seamlessly integrate, communicate, and achieve aerospace certification. What You Will Do Sub-System Integration: Define and own the interfaces, boundaries, and system behavior linking the physical Traction Battery Pack, BMS (Hardware & Software), HV/LV Converters, and BTMS to the wider eVTOL aircraft airframe.\nRequirements Engineering: Capture, cascade, and track technical requirements from the aircraft level down to components, utilizing SAE ARP4754A guidelines to build out structured Verification Cross-Reference Matrices (VCRM). Safety & Compliance Mapping: Coordinate functional safety assessments and hazard analyses (SAE ARP4761) specifically around battery thermal runaway, loss of BMS control, and converter power failures. V&V Strategy: Design environmental and hardware verification plans targeting compliance with RTCA DO-160 and RTCA DO-254 for EWIS, Power distribution, Power conversion electronics and BMS & BTMS controllers. Interface & Communication Control: Define and maintain data-bus communications (CAN, CAN-FD, or aerospace equivalents) and electrical grounding architectures to mitigate EMI/EMC issues between high-power traction lines and low-voltage control systems. What We Are Looking For (Must-Haves) Experience: 3 to 5 years of systems engineering or multidisciplinary design experience focused on high-voltage battery systems or electric powertrains (Aerospace or high-performance EV sectors preferred).\nEducation: Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electronics & Communication, or a closely related discipline. Domain Expertise: Strong engineering comprehension of at least two of the following: BMS architecture, Lithium-ion battery thermal management, or high-power switching topologies (DC-DC converters/inverters). Aerospace Standard Depth: Clear working knowledge and theoretical understanding of aerospace frameworks: RTCA DO-160, RTCA DO-254, SAE ARP4754A, and SAE ARP4761. Preferred Skills (Good-to-Have) Familiarity with battery-specific standards such as RTCA DO-311A, SAE ARP-7131 or SAE AIR-6464. Experience using requirements management software (e.g., JIRA, Jama Connect, Polarion, Visure or DOORS).","description_format":"text","description_chars":2954,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Smart Mobility","Aircraft Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-25T17:16:59Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.9,"p_room":1,"age_days":19,"expected_fill_days":91,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/the-eplane-company-systems-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/the-eplane-company-systems-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T05:32:59Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":8514,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":723173},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=723173"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fthe-eplane-company-systems-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fthe-eplane-company-systems-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fthe-eplane-company-systems-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/the-eplane-company-systems-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fthe-eplane-company-systems-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3242450}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"eplane.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3242450},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
