System Engineer
Summary
Own and evolve Exponent’s energy stack by collaborating with OEM partners and engineers to integrate e^pack, e^pump, and e^plug for rapid EV charging.
You will be working with the Product & Systems in Bengaluru.
This team runs on a hustle mindset with an objective to increase Exponent Energy’s market share in the city of Bengaluru and beyond and help more people adapt to 15-minute rapid charging technology achieved by our Flexible Energy Stack, which consists of the e^pack (battery pack) and e^pump (charging station).
Our philosophy: Break. Believe. Build
Break stuff. Break assumptions. Break the thumb rule.
Believe in the team. Believe in the process. Believe through failures.
Build fast. Build passionately. Build to simplify.
We are looking for a hands-on System Engineer to own and evolve Exponent's energy stack. The role involves collaborating with OEM partners, mechanical, electrical, and firmware engineers to ensure seamless integration across e^pack, e^pump, and e^plug across the platforms.
Key Responsibilities:
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system requirements and specifications for exponent energy stack.
- Support the creation of system architecture
- Support in system-level testing and verification activities, including functional, performance, and reliability testing.
- Navigate and negotiate feature delivery tradeoffs against time
- Interpret data of tests conducted using numerical analysis and take objective decisions to meet target features
- Support system-level reviews with cross-platform architects (electrical & mechanical)
- Create technical documentation (schematics, integration workflows, and validation reports)
- Identify system-level test cases and write procedures for major components like powertrain, battery system, charger system, etc.
Requirements:
- 2-7 years in embedded systems, electrical design, or firmware development for automotive/EVs
- Strong understanding of CAN/LIN, PLC comm. protocols, power electronics, and control systems
- Debugging understanding of hardware/electronic circuits, diagnostics on system integration
- At least one depth project on any domain (mech+elec+hw/fw)
- Past experience of working on integrated systems - Holistic view
- Experience in system-level validation and fault analysis
- A non-compromising attitude towards product excellence but flexible approach to have healthy cohesion of products and teams working together
Good to have:
- Formula student/BAJA background
- Matlab / any other modelling tool, any requirement flow down tool

- Describe a project where you led the integration of firmware and LV electrical systems in an automotive or EV platform. Please detail: The system/platform you worked on Your specific responsibilities (highlight firmware + electrical involvement) Key challenges during integration (debugging, feature tradeoffs, etc.) The final outcome and what you’d do differently if you could redo it Blank responses, AI generated response, etc will not be considered. This role is NOT applicable for Freshers.
- Share an example where you had to diagnose and resolve a fault across multiple subsystems (e.g., battery, vehicle interface, charger) in an EV or embedded product. Include: How you approached isolating the issue Any tools/data you used (CAN logs, oscilloscope, firmware logs, etc.) What the root cause was, and how you fixed it How you ensured it didn’t recur in production Blank responses, AI generated response, etc will not be considered.
