Is EV Battery Engineer right for you?

Design, validate, and productionise the lithium-ion cells, battery packs, and battery-management systems (BMS) that power India's electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers, passenger cars, and commercial vehicles. The work spans cell chemistry selection (NMC, LFP, sodium-ion as it matures), pack mechanical and thermal design (cold plates, IP67 sealing, AIS-156-compliant fire safety), BMS firmware (state-of-charge / state-of-health estimation, cell balancing, CAN-bus protocols), high-voltage safety, DV/PV testing under abuse conditions (nail penetration, thermal runaway, vibration, drop, salt-spray), and on-vehicle calibration with the powertrain and charger teams. In India the role lives at homegrown EV makers — Ola Electric, Ather Energy, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, Mahindra Last Mile Mobility, TVS Motor's iQube programme, Bajaj's Chetak / commercial EV programme — and at battery and energy-storage specialists like Exide Energy Solutions, Amara Raja Advanced Cell Technologies, Lithium-Werks, Log9 Materials, and contract-manufacturing partners building cells in Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka under the PLI-ACC scheme. It is one of the few hardware-engineering specialisations in India where demand outruns supply and salary curves have been re-rated upwards since 2022.
