Electric Powertrain Triaging & Commissioning Engineer

Electric Powertrain Triaging & Commissioning Engineer

Join to apply for the Electric Powertrain Triaging & Commissioning Engineer role at KPIT.

• Build, Integrate and Validate Prototype/Mules
• Support mule vehicle builds by triaging propulsion system and related issues.
• Be the first point of contact for any issues related to powertrain.
• Defining containment actions – interim as well as long‑term solutions for powertrain related issues
• Work with engineering teams from multiple engineering disciplines such as
• EE SWAT (Software Action Team)
• EOL (End of Line)
• PFDI (Physical and Functional Design & Integration)
• Battery Pack Team
• Solve complex vehicle problems to meet vehicle commissioning due dates.
• Test the built vehicles, validate and integrate
• Work with EESWAT Wiring team and find the root cause of the issues and replace any component or missing parts in line with EESWAT team.
• Flash the latest powertrain modules to ensure the updated version is compliant with the Calibration team.
• Commission the vehicle as per defined power‑train module tasks, ensuring zero defect and high‑quality testing; work with the BPCM team and find the root cause of any issues related to BEV.
• Determine any vehicle hurdles or unknown issues with the team and articulate the root cause, including mechanics‑related issues such as WED testing, shaft breakage, etc.
• Requirement and scope of the work:
  All DT vehicle fleet after production releases need commissioning & validation with software update and later triaging of the powertrain modules with completion of fleet to custodians.
• Major powertrain modules:
  Flashing on modules like EVCU, BPCM, IDCM, MCPA, MCPB and MCPC, ECM, compliance with the latest software level.
• Activities:
  
  Flashing, checking all hardware related to the powertrain, validating the application, flashing the required software level, and closing the commissioning sheet. In case of any defect of the fleet, triage and articulate the right calibration and DRE to be notified with CAN logs.
• After fleet commissioning, support reflashing & triaging for all DT/WS variant fleets.
• Perform vehicle bring‑up activities: power‑moding checks, HV system readiness, cooling system checks, verifying communication between powertrain modules before initial vehicle starts.
• Validate HV safety systems: HVIL loop checks, contactor operation, insulation monitoring, and ensure all safety‑critical powertrain components function correctly during commissioning.

• Bachelor/Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or another suitable engineering degree from an accredited university.
• Minimum of 8 to 10 years of experience in the electronics, hardware, automotive industry.
• Understanding of BEV architecture and proper functioning of the vehicle.
• CAN and UDS protocol knowledge.
• Problem‑solving and debugging skills.
• Hands‑on with CDA, Canalyzer, INCA.
• Knowledge of MS‑Office.
• Experience with plant and controller modeling, simulation, development, testing, and validation.
• Knowledge and experience with powertrain, electrical engineering, electric and hybrid systems.
• Master of Science degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering is preferred.
• Experience in model development is preferred.
• Basic knowledge of vehicle dynamics and specific simulation software is preferred.
• Knowledge of vehicle systems components is also preferred.
• Experience working within an AGILE or Scrum framework is preferred.
• Ability to adapt to changing environment with minimal effect on productivity is preferred.
• Strong understanding of embedded software development.
• Ability to communicate effectively across multiple levels of management.
