The future of the automotive industry will be driven by electric vehicles. Due to their increasing demand and rapid advancements, many OEMs are stepping into the EV domain. The EV industry is growing at 23.1%, much faster than many other industries. As per industry records, hiring for new employees in the electric vehicle industry has spiked to 108%. The EV industry in India is growing at 168% and is expected to create one crore direct jobs and five crore indirect jobs by 2030.
BYD, Tesla, Nissan, Volkswagen, Ford, and Kia are among the top OEMs that sell EVs. Much research is still being carried out to improve the battery's efficiency and enhance its features. New technologies like AI and IoT are paving their way into the e-mobility domain to provide a better user experience. There are many opportunities for engineers to bring innovation by integrating the latest technology. Here are some common EV jobs available for electrical engineers in the EV industry.
You must be aware of the motherboard that forms the core component of all electronic devices. A motherboard controls all the operations executed by the device. The motherboard is nothing but a PCB board. PCB or Printed Circuit Board is made of a non-conductive material that binds all underlying copper strands.
The primary advantage of using a PCB for any circuit is space-saving. It takes less time to fabricate a PCB than a wired connection and remains intact for years.
All electric vehicle deploys complex circuit connections, which are made simple using PCBs. For the control of sensors, the entertainment system, charging unit, powertrain and all units of an Electric Vehicle is controlled by PCB. The PCB design engineer is responsible for,
Altium Designer, Proteus, KiCad and XCircuit are some popular tools used to design PCBs.
An embedded system integrates hardware and software designed to execute a specific function. The application may have a user interface displaying inputs and outputs. They are highly reliable, efficient and can be easily mass-produced. The adaptive cruise control, airbag, emission control system and anti-lock braking system are some embedded systems deployed in automobiles.
A BMS or Battery Management System is an intelligent backup system to ensure the smooth and safe functioning of the battery. It ensures a battery is not overcharged and regulates the temperature to avoid thermal runaway. Thus, it maintains the battery's SOC (State of Charge) and SOH (State of Health).
A powertrain system is an assembly of components that coordinates with the engine and vehicle. It transfers the power from the engine to the axle of a car and sets it in motion. A powertrain system includes an engine, transmission, differential and axles. In an electric vehicle, an e-Powertrain system is deployed in which a motor replaces the engine. Based on the type of EV, the motor is powered by a battery, a fuel cell, or a generator coupled with the engine.
Equipping yourself with the right skillset will make you eligible for the job. A PG Program in Electric Vehicle Design and Development offered by Skill-Lync will teach you different software like MATLAB, Simulink, SocketCAN, LINUX, C++, ANSYS Maxwell, Altium Designer and LTspice. Industries use these tools for designing and analysing different subsystems of EVs.
To step into an electric vehicle job, you can learn How does an Electric Vehicle work? for free. It will take you through motor controllers, transmission, and battery management systems.
