Location: Mohan Estate & Palwal
Experience: 1-4 Years
Function: NPI / Manufacturing / Engineering
Role Overview
We are looking for a hands-on NPI Engineer – Battery Electronics to work closely with R&D, Production, Quality, and external vendors to industrialize new battery products and continuously improve existing battery manufacturing and testing processes.
Key Responsibilities
- Drive NPI activities from R&D/prototype stage through pilot builds and mass production.
- Act as the bridge between R&D and Plant, translating product requirements into production and testing requirements.
- Ensure new battery components, BMS, electronics, and design changes are production-ready and implemented correctly.
- Own and improve BMS testers, battery testers, EOL testing, and PDI processes, including test coverage, reliability, cycle time, and traceability.
- Troubleshoot electronics, BMS, tester, and production issues and drive root-cause analysis and permanent corrective actions.
- Define requirements for and coordinate development of jigs, fixtures, testers, and special-purpose machines with external vendors.
- Evaluate and implement new machines, automation, and process improvements to improve quality, productivity, cost, and cycle time.
- Work with R&D on DFM/DFT, engineering changes, BOM changes, and design improvements to ensure manufacturability and testability.
- Develop and improve SOPs, work instructions, process controls, checklists, and validation procedures for new and existing processes.
- Analyze production and tester data to identify yield losses, recurring failures, bottlenecks, and improvement opportunities.
- Coordinate with vendors on technical requirements, design reviews, trials, commissioning, and equipment validation.
- Support production during new product launches, ramp-up, and day-to-day technical issues.
- Use basic programming/scripting for test automation, data analysis, debugging, or process improvement.
- Ensure proper traceability and documentation of battery testing, production processes, and engineering changes.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
- 1-4 years of experience in NPI, manufacturing engineering, test engineering, battery, BMS, or electronics manufacturing.
- Good understanding of basic electronics and electrical systems.
- Understanding of battery packs, BMS, and battery testing is preferred.
- Hands on experience in hardware debugging, circuit-level troubleshooting, and signal analysis using Multimeters, Oscilloscopes, and DSOs.
- Hands-on experience with testers, jigs, fixtures, production equipment, or automation.
- Basic programming/scripting knowledge in Python, C/C++, LabVIEW, or similar.
- Familiarity with CAN, UART, RS485, Ethernet, or Modbus is a plus.
- Understanding of root-cause analysis, PFMEA, Control Plans, process validation, and continuous improvement.
- Strong communication and vendor-management skills.
- Comfortable working hands-on at the plant/shop floor and independently driving problems to closure.
