and testingand valueWorst-case,

Brief:

1. As an Electronics Design Lead, you will be responsible for managing a team of HW engineers through the entire Product Development Life Cycle from Concept to Ship.
2. You will strongly contribute to design architecture amp; interface directly with system engineering leads amp; product managers.
3. Your strong technical expertise will be precious for deep-diving into complex circuit design amp; troubleshooting.
4. You will use your mentoring amp; technical skills to improve the efficiency of the HW engineering department as a whole.
5. At Maxwell, you will have the opportunity to make lithium-ion batteries safer, and more efficient, and basically help the world tackle one of its biggest challenges: Energy storage.

Responsibilities

• Design and development of digital, analog and Power electronics for control of high-power electronics systems.
• Implement Value Analysis amp; Value Engineering( VAVE) techniques early in the design and component selection phase to avert later impact in production.
• Analyse potential design gaps and improvise existing shipping designs to meet emerging customer requirements
• Manage amp; grow a team of HW engineers
• Ensure amp; optimize adherence to stringent standards (HW Design / FuSa / Manufacturing)
• Knowledge of Industrial, Automotive and Product Safety Standards ( ISO26262, AIS004, AIS156, IEC61000-x, ISO10605
• Ability to guide a team of Verification and Validation engineers, in setting up Devices for test for high power and mentor them to extract quantifiable outputs to enable leadership decision-making.
• Troubleshoot and Debug with Firmware, Manufacturing Team on production issues.
• Occasional Customer site visits to analyse the issue at hand after Application Engineering Team has diagnosed it for Engineering analysis( Hw, FW)
• DFx- Design for Manufacturability, Testability, Compliance and Scalability(100k volume + annually)

Requirements

Must-Have Requirements
