Title: Technical Lead - Power Electronics
Location: Pune
Experience: 3+ years for Power Electronics Engineers & 8+ years for Technical Leads
Role Overview:
We are looking for passionate Power Electronics Engineers and Technical Leads to join our R&D team and contribute to the development of next-generation power conversion products, including Solar Hybrid Inverters, EV, Renewable Energy, and Power Electronics solutions.
Key Responsibilities
-
Lead end-to-end product development from concept and prototype to mass manufacturing.
-
Design and develop advanced control algorithms for DC-DC converters, MPPT systems, and DC-AC inverters (Grid-Tied / Off-Grid).
-
Develop and optimize Embedded C/C++ firmware for real-time MCUs, particularly TI C2000 platforms.
-
Perform system modeling, simulation, and validation using MATLAB/Simulink and PLECS.
-
Drive Hardware, Firmware, and Mechanical integration activities.
-
Conduct HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) testing, system validation, and reliability assessments.
-
Support manufacturing readiness through DFM, DFT, and DFS methodologies.
-
Collaborate with supply chain, quality, and production teams for product industrialization.
-
Ensure compliance with grid standards such as UL 1741, IEEE 1547, anti-islanding, LVRT, and grid synchronization requirements.
-
Lead root cause analysis (RCA), design reviews, technical risk mitigation, and engineering change management (ECR/ECN).
-
Support pilot production and manufacturing scale-up activities.
Required Skills & Experience

-
Strong knowledge of power converter topologies, inverter systems, and control theory.
-
Expertise in Embedded C/C++ programming for real-time control applications.
-
Hands-on experience with TI C2000 or similar microcontroller platforms.
-
Strong understanding of digital control systems, compensator design (PID, PR, Lead-Lag), and stability analysis (Bode/Nyquist).
-
Experience with Grid Synchronization techniques (PLL, SOGI-PLL, SRF-PLL), active/reactive power control, and grid-tied systems.
-
Knowledge of Motor Control techniques such as FOC, SVPWM, and sensorless control.
-
Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, Model-Based Design (MBD), and HIL testing.
-
Experience with system integration, validation, reliability testing, and manufacturing processes.
-
Exposure to EV, Renewable Energy, Solar Inverters, Motor Drives, or Consumer Electronics products is highly preferred.
-
Strong leadership, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
