What the work involves
Day to day
Developing electric vehicles and their systems - battery packs and thermal management, motors and power electronics, controls software, and integrating all of it into a vehicle that has to be safe and affordable.
Who this suits
Fit
Mechanical and electrical engineers who want to work on a transition rather than a mature product. India's two and three-wheeler electrification is genuinely world-scale, and manufacturers are hiring into engineering teams that did not exist a decade ago.
The honest reality
Read this one
The field is crowded with new entrants and consolidation is already underway, so some employers will not survive - check a company's funding and volumes before joining. Cost pressure in the Indian market is severe and constrains what you can engineer. Battery cell technology is largely imported, so the deepest work happens elsewhere. Recall and safety incidents in the sector have created intense regulatory scrutiny and the pressure that comes with it.
