• *Reporting To: Project Lead / Engineering Head**
• *Location: Pune, India**
• *Project Type: Diesel\-to\-Battery Forklift Conversion**

• *Experience – 5 to 8 yrs**

• *Role Purpose**

The Vehicle Electrical Engineer will lead and execute the electrical engineering scope for converting diesel\-operated forklifts into battery\-electric forklifts. The role is hands\-on, coordination\-intensive, and trial\-driven, requiring strong EV domain knowledge combined with excellent vendor management and communication skills. This position sits at the intersection of engineering, vendors, and system designers.

• *Key Responsibilities**

• *1\. EV Electrical System Integration**

• Support design, integration, and validation of **battery packs, BMS, motor controllers, traction motors, DC\-DC converters, chargers, and wiring harnesses**.
• Ensure compatibility between legacy forklift systems and new electric drivetrain components.
• Review electrical schematics, layouts, and interface definitions.

• *2\. Vendor Coordination \& Parts Management**

• Coordinate with **component vendors and suppliers** for EV subsystems and electrical parts.
• Obtain technical specifications, drawings, test data, and compliance documents.
• Support sourcing decisions by providing technical inputs and feasibility assessments.
• Act as the single\-point engineering interface for vendors during development and trials.

• *3\. Trials, Testing \& Troubleshooting**

• Participate actively in **prototype build, commissioning, and field trials**.
• Diagnose and troubleshoot electrical, control, and integration issues during testing.
• Support root\-cause analysis and corrective action implementation.
• Ensure issues are closed with permanent engineering solutions, not workarounds.

• *4\. Interface with System Designers**

• Coordinate with **internal and external system designers** (mechanical, electrical, control, and EV system architects).
• Translate design intent into executable electrical configurations on the vehicle.
• Provide feedback from trials to designers for design iteration and improvement.

• *5\. Documentation \& Technical Communication**

• Maintain updated electrical documentation, wiring diagrams, interface notes, and trial reports.
• Communicate issues, risks, and progress clearly to internal stakeholders and management.
• Support basic compliance and safety documentation related to EV systems.

• *Critical Skill Requirements**

• *Technical Skills (Must\-Have)**

• Strong fundamentals in **vehicle electrical systems**.
• Practical experience with **EV or hybrid vehicles**, electric drivetrains, or electric industrial equipment.
• Hands\-on exposure to **battery systems, BMS, motor controllers, CAN communication**, and power electronics.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
• Field\-level troubleshooting capability.

• *Soft Skills (Equally Important)**

• Strong communication skills to interact with vendors, designers, and internal teams.
• Ability to explain technical issues clearly to non\-specialists.
• Proactive coordination and follow\-up mindset.
• Structured problem\-solving and calm approach during trials and failures.
• Comfortable working in ambiguity and early\-stage development environments.

• *Experience \& Background**

• 5\-8 years of relevant experience in **vehicle electrical engineering, EV development, or electric industrial vehicles**.
• Prior exposure to **EV conversion, retrofitting, or prototype development** is a strong advantage.
• Experience working with suppliers and external engineering partners preferred.

• *Education**

• Bachelor’s degree in **Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Automotive Engineering**, or related field.
• EV\-specific certifications or project experience will be an added advantage.
