Drive proof-of-concept development for new lighting solutions, including advanced LED systems, smart controls, optics, Battery management, and materials. Collaborate with product management, design, and engineering teams to align technology development with market trends and customer needs. Own the technology roadmap for solar lighting developments and scout emerging technologies and academic research for potential integration. Conduct feasibility studies, risk assessments, and design experiments to validate novel concepts. Engage with external partners, universities, and technology consortia to enhance innovation capabilities. Prepare and present technical reports, patent filings, and investment cases for leadership review. Mentor junior engineers and build technical excellence within the team. Quest to Technology upgradation with habit of exploring new Patent and White papers.

Electronics & Hardware Design (The Core)

Optimize high-efficiency DC-DC LED driver circuits (Buck/Boost converters) with efficiency >95%. Integrate PWM/MPPT charge controllers with Battery Management Systems (BMS) for

LiFePO4

and Li-ion chemistries. Lead PCB layout and schematic capture using tools like

Altium Designer

or

OrCAD

, ensuring low EMI/EMC noise. Integrate IoT modules (LoRaWAN, Zigbee, GSM/GPRS) for remote monitoring and dimming controls (dusk-to-dawn logic, motion sensing).

2.

System Architecture & Optics

Calculate the "Energy Balance" to match PV Panel wattage, Battery capacity (Ah), and LED load to ensure required

autonomy (backup days)

during cloudy weather Select and simulate secondary optics (lenses) to achieve

Type II / Type III

light distribution patterns, minimizing light pollution and maximizing road uniformity.

3. Component Selection & BOM Management

PV Modules:

Monocrystalline / Polycrystalline / Vertical Solar tech

LEDs:

High-lumen per watt (LPW) emitters (e.g., Osram, Cree, Lumileds)

4.

Mechanical & Thermal Engineering

Thermal Management:

Design heatsinks and enclosures to ensure LED junction temperature (Tj) remains within safe limits (<85C) at high ambient temperatures

Enclosure Design:

Oversee mechanical design (SolidWorks/AutoCAD) to ensure

IP65/IP66

ingress protection and

IK08/IK10

impact resistance.

5. Testing & Validation Electronics products
