About the Role

chargeMOD is an energy-tech company building India's EV charging ecosystem end to end.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and develop power conversion stages for EV: AC-DC (PFC) front ends and isolated DC-DC converters (LLC, phase-shifted full bridge, DAB).
  • Simulate circuits and control loops in LTspice, PLECS, PSIM or MATLAB/Simulink before building hardware.
  • Select and size power components: MOSFETs, IGBTs, SiC devices, gate drivers, capacitors, sensors and protection devices.
  • Design and test magnetics (inductors and high-frequency transformers) with suppliers.
  • Create schematics and review PCB layouts for power paths, thermal performance and EMI.
  • Build and bring up prototypes; measure efficiency, ripple, transient response and thermal behaviour in the lab.
  • Work with the firmware team on control, protection and fault handling (over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, ground fault).
  • Support compliance and certification testing (IS 17017, IEC 61851, EMC and safety standards).
  • Debug field returns and production issues, and feed fixes back into the design.
  • Prepare design documents, test reports and BOMs.

Requirements & Tech Stack

  • B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Electrical, Electrical & Electronics, Electronics, Power Electronics or a related field.
  • 0–3 years of experience in power electronics design, testing or validation. Freshers with strong academic projects or internships are encouraged to apply.
  • Solid fundamentals in converter topologies (buck, boost, flyback, full bridge), switching devices and basic control theory.
  • Hands-on lab skills with oscilloscopes, differential and current probes, power analysers, DC power supplies and electronic loads.
  • Comfortable working safely with high-voltage, high-power hardware.
  • Ability to read and create schematics in at least one EDA tool (Altium, KiCad, OrCAD or similar).
  • Clear written and verbal communication in English.

Freshers: please share your final-year project, internship work or any hardware you have built, with photos, reports or a GitHub link.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with EV & EV chargers, onboard chargers, solar inverters, UPS, motor drives or SMPS products.
  • Exposure to SiC/GaN devices and high-frequency magnetics design.
  • Digital control on microcontrollers or DSPs (TI C2000, STM32 or similar).
  • Knowledge of EV charging standards and protocols: IS 17017, IEC 61851, CCS2, Bharat AC/DC, OCPP.
  • Thermal design and EMI/EMC debugging experience.
  • Familiarity with design for manufacturing and working with contract manufacturers.

What We Offer

  • Hands-on work across the full product cycle, from simulation to certification and field deployment.
  • Mentorship from senior hardware engineers and a well-equipped power electronics lab.
  • A fast-moving startup culture with room to grow into senior and lead roles.
  • Competitive salary, health insurance and performance-linked rewards.
