Lead BMS Hardware Engineer

About Xbattery

Xbattery is a deep-tech energy startup building BharatBMS a unified, modular Battery

Management System platform for both Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Energy Storage Systems (ESS).

We are incubated at T-Works, Hyderabad, and are working with leading OEMs and energy

Companies to design scalable, secure, and India-compliant BMS solutions that rival the best in the

world.

Role Overview

As Lead BMS Hardware Engineer, you will own the end-to-end hardware design of our BMS boards

from architecture and schematics to PCB design, validation, and compliance. You will lead and

mentor a team of hardware engineers, establish structured design processes, and ensure our

designs meet automotive-grade safety, reliability, and certification standards.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the architecture, schematic design, and PCB development of BMS boards (LV and HV, up

to 800V).

Design circuits for AFE integration, microcontrollers, power electronics, contactor control,

isolation, and protection.

Expertise with NXP S32K3, TI C2000, or Infineon Aurix MCUs in BMS/automotive applications.

Drive design reviews, simulations, and verification plans; enforce structured processes and

documentation.

Collaborate with embedded/software teams for hardware-software co-design.

Oversee BOM optimization, component selection, and sourcing with cost-performance

trade-offs.

Ensure compliance with ISO 26262, AIS-038, AIS-156, IEC standards, and BIS certifications.

Guide DFM/DFT practices and coordinate with fabrication/testing vendors.

Mentor and upskill junior engineers; set best practices in CAD tools, version control, and

validation workflows.

What We're Looking For

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related field.

7+ years of experience in hardware design, with at least 3+ years in BMS/EV/automotive

electronics.

Hands-on expertise with Altium Designer and OrCAD (Cadence Allegro).

Experience with high-voltage, high-current PCB design, isolation techniques, and thermal

management.

Understanding of cell monitoring ICs (NXP MC3377x, TI, ADI, etc.).

Proven track record of designing multi-layer PCBs (6-12 layers).

Familiarity with DFMEA, safety requirements, and regulatory testing (AIS, IEC, ISO).

Excellent problem-solving, documentation, and leadership skills.

Bonus: Experience with signal integrity analysis, SPICE simulations, SiC/GaN power devices,

or cybersecurity for BMS.
