Selecting electrical components that would enable proper and optimum operation of vehicle and the battery pack.

Designing the SOP for electronics installation, fault identification and analysis(independently and with used within the assigned system).

Training the on-site service personnel to operate the OBD (On Board Diagnostic) system and repair/replace the damaged components.

End to end testing of the battery system in sync with the electronics and record the data for further optimization and modification.

Logic development and selection of auxiliaries required for the battery system.

Design and fabricate test equipment for the required mechanical, thermal, and electrical systems, EV vehicle test bench.

Ensure test results are documented in a clear, concise, and timely manner

Working with the battery and hardware design teams to improve and optimize the performance of the implemented battery system performance.

Perform the plant modelling, model-based design (MBD) and testing (HiL/MiL) of the EV battery system.

Troubleshoot and resolve issues that arise during testing and/or during production.

Interacting with the certification team (ICAT, ARAI etc) in defining/performing the testing standards for battery systems for EV.
