## Description

Maxwell Energy Systems is building the next generation of intelligent electronics for electric mobility. 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.  

We 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.

This 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.  

### What you'll do:

-   Own the **end-to-end hardware development** of automotive electronic control boards from requirements, architecture and component selection to schematic, PCB, prototype, validation and production.
-   Design and develop **analog, digital and power electronics** for BMS, EV chargers, motor controllers, DC-DC converters and other high-power electronic systems.
-   Perform detailed **circuit analysis, simulation, component selection, design calculations and design reviews** to ensure robust product performance.
-   Design and review **high-current/high-voltage power stages**, including MOSFETs, IGBTs, diodes, gate drivers and associated protection circuitry.
-   Develop robust **MCU/DSP-based control electronics**, including signal conditioning, sensing, communication interfaces and board-level power supplies.
-   Lead PCB architecture and layout decisions including **component placement, current-loop optimization, power/signal partitioning, thermal considerations, creepage/clearance, parasitic inductance/capacitance and EMC performance**.
-   Drive hardware designs through **EVT/DVT/PVT, validation, debugging and production release**, working closely with Firmware, Systems, Mechanical, Test, Quality and Manufacturing teams.
-   Design for **cost, manufacturability, reliability and scalability**, including products manufactured at **100k+ unit volumes**.
-   Lead hardware troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of issues observed during development, validation and field deployment.
-   Ensure compliance with applicable **automotive electrical, EMC/EMI, environmental, reliability, safety and functional-safety requirements**.
-   Work closely with the BMS Hardware/Firmware teams to develop and validate **production and engineering test equipment**.
-   Mentor junior hardware engineers and contribute to improving Maxwell's **hardware design practices, reviews, component selection and engineering processes**.

### Must Have Requirements:

-   **5+ years of hands-on experience** in electronics hardware/product development within a design and manufacturing environment.
-   Strong fundamentals in **analog, digital and power electronics**.
-   Proven experience taking electronic products from **concept → schematic → PCB → prototype → validation → production**.
-   Strong experience with **Altium Designer** for schematic capture and PCB design/review.
-   Experience with **MOSFET/IGBT/diode selection, gate-driver design, protection circuits and high-current power electronics**.
-   Experience with **MCUs/DSPs and their peripheral circuitry**, including sensing, signal conditioning, communication interfaces and power supplies.
-   Strong understanding of **PCB layout for power integrity, signal integrity, thermal performance and EMI/EMC**.
-   Experience with **circuit simulation and design-analysis tools**.
-   Understanding of **DFM/DFA, component derating, reliability and design-for-cost** principles.
-   Ability to independently debug complex hardware using laboratory equipment such as **oscilloscopes, electronic loads, power supplies, multimeters and other diagnostic equipment**.
-   Good understanding of hardware validation and product qualification methodologies.
-   Strong written and verbal **English communication skills**, with the ability to collaborate effectively with global engineering teams.
-   Bachelor's or Master's degree in **Electrical/Electronics Engineering (EEE/ECE)** or equivalent practical experience.

### Nice to Have:

-   Experience with **Li-ion batteries, BMS, EV chargers, motor controllers, DC-DC converters or other automotive power electronics**.
-   Experience working on **automotive products and production-intent hardware**.
-   Familiarity with **Functional Safety (FuSa), ASPICE and automotive hardware development processes**.
-   Experience with **EMI/EMC testing and troubleshooting**.
-   Experience with **high-voltage isolation, insulation coordination, creepage/clearance and safety-critical hardware**.
-   Experience taking products through **DV/PV, certification and mass production**.
-   Experience working with **100k+ annual production volumes**.

###   
Why Maxwell?

At Maxwell, you will work on **real EV products that go into the hands of customers**, rather than prototype-only electronics.  
You 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.  
If 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.  

**Apply and build the future of electric mobility with Maxwell Energy.**
