Systems Engineer

Job Title: System Engineer – Vehicle Diagnostics (EV)

Experience Level: 5+ Years

Work Location: Gurgaon / Pune, India

Job Type: Full-Time

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced System Engineer (5+ years) specializing in Electric Vehicle (EV) systems to lead diagnostic development, remote telemetry implementation, and validation across vehicle platforms. In this role, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional software, system engineering, and telematics teams to design end-to-end diagnostic architectures, define fault management strategies, and ensure compliant, robust vehicle performance throughout the product development lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities1. Diagnostic System Architecture & Strategy

• Define and implement vehicle EE (Electrical/Electronic) and Powertrain diagnostic concepts for electric vehicle (xEV) architectures.
• Architect Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), fault detection logic, debounce times, fault reaction matrices, and recovery mechanisms.
• Establish safety and performance strategies including derating modes, limp-home operations, and driver alert notifications based on fault severity.
• Define HMI cluster telltales, driver warning messages, and mobile application telemetry notifications.

2. Requirements & Cross-Functional Engineering

• Perform thorough diagnostic requirements analysis, develop technical specifications, and ensure end-to-end requirements traceability in tools like DOORS/Jama.
• Collaborate across functional teams to integrate diagnostic routines across major EV subsystems:
• VCU (Vehicle Control Unit)
• BMS (Battery Management System)
• MCU (Motor Control Unit / Inverter)
• OBC & DC-DC Converters
• Thermal Management Systems (TMS)
• Define subsystem diagnostic requirements for vehicle controllers, service tools, and Off-Board Diagnostic Testers (VCI tools).

3. Remote Diagnostics, Telematics & OTA

• Support the integration and validation of connected vehicle technologies, cloud telemetry, and remote vehicle diagnostic solutions.
• Define diagnostic protocols and security mechanisms for Over-The-Air (OTA) software updates, ECU flashing sequences, campaign management, and update verification.
• Ensure automotive cybersecurity considerations (e.g., SecOC, Diagnostic Authentication) are incorporated into diagnostic services.

4. Validation, Testing & Root Cause Analysis

• Develop, execute, and validate diagnostic test cases, service routines, and fault handling strategies.
• Analyze in-vehicle communication trace logs (CAN, CAN FD, DoIP) using Vector toolchains to resolve system-level defects during bench and vehicle testing.

Key Qualifications & SkillsEducation & Experience

• Education: B.E. / B.Tech or M.E. / M.Tech in Automotive, Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, Mechanical, or allied disciplines.
• Experience: 5+ years total experience in automotive software/systems development, with 3+ years dedicated to Electric Vehicle (EV) systems.

Technical Competencies

• Deep understanding of automotive diagnostic standards and protocols: UDS (ISO 14229), DoCAN (ISO 15765-2), DoIP (ISO 13400), and OBD-II / WWH-OBD.
• Solid background in xEV powertrain control concepts, fault tree analysis, and vehicle energy management.
• Experience with OTA campaign workflows, ECU flashing procedures, and telematics app notification architecture.
• Strong exposure to safety concepts (ISO 26262 functional safety awareness).

Tooling Expertise

• Diagnostic & Bus Tools: Vector CANalyzer, CANoe, CANape, or equivalent diagnostic logging software.
• Requirements Management: IBM DOORS, Jama Software, PTC Integrity, or JIRA.

Pay: ₹1,800,000.00 - ₹2,000,000.00 per year
