System Engineer

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 LV energy stack, with a focus on firmware and electrical integration.

• Work closely with OEM integration teams to deliver reliable vehicle interfaces

• Collaborate with firmware engineers on low-level code, diagnostics, and control algorithms

• 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).

Requirements:

• 5+ years in embedded systems, LV 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

• Proficiency in C/C++ and embedded firmware debugging tools

• Experience in system-level validation and fault analysis

• Ability to work across multidisciplinary teams and OEM stakeholders
