● Own HVDC safety concepts and validation  

**Electrical & System Integration**

● Integrate power electronics hardware including converters, inverters, sensors, and

actuators

● Review and debug schematics, PCBA designs, and component ratings

● Lead hardware–firmware integration, including protocol-level debugging

● Support EMI/EMC testing, harness design, and routing considerations

● Analyze and mitigate effects of parasitics in automotive systems  

**Firmware & Debugging**

● Debug communication protocols: CAN, UART, MODBUS, SPI

● Work with MCU peripherals including ADC configuration

● Diagnose and resolve hardware–software interaction issues

● Collaborate with firmware teams during bring-up and validation  

**Electro-Mechanical Systems**

● Perform thermal and fluid flow calculations for electrical systems

● Define packaging, separation, filters, and ingress protection strategies

● Interface with chillers and HVAC systems for thermal management  

**Reliability & Engineering Excellence**

● Own DFMEA and drive mitigation actions

● Lead root cause analysis (RCA) for electro-mechanical failures

● Support reliability testing and modelling across product lifecycle  

**Required Skills & Experience**

● Experience across 2+ full product development cycles in one or more of the

following:

○ Electrical protection & insulation coordination design

○ EV powertrain or >500V battery architecture

○ Power electronics converter design or application

● Strong fundamentals in electrical circuit analysis

● Hands-on experience debugging CAN, MODBUS, SPI

● Proven experience driving DFMEA and reliability validation

● Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical / Electronics / Mechatronics Engineering  

**Preferred Qualities**

● First-principles thinker with strong debugging instincts

● Comfortable working across electrical, firmware, and mechanical teams

● Bias for ownership in a fast-paced startup environment

● Passion for EVs, clean energy, and building hardware that scales  

**What Matters at Exponent**

● Quality of work and attention to detail

● Structured problem-solving approach
