Introduction

The electric vehicle (EV) industry is growing at record speed — but while learning about EVs is easy, turning that knowledge into a thriving career remains the real challenge.

To bridge this gap, DIYguru hosted a live session titled “Future in Motion – Careers in EV Made Simple” on 4th October 2025, where two of DIYguru’s senior trainers, Rahul Kumar Bidawat and Ashutosh Dehury, came together for the first time to help learners understand how EV and embedded systems skills can translate into real-world career opportunities.

Session Overview

The session was opened by Saher-E-Yaar Ashraf from DIYguru, who welcomed participants, introduced the speakers, and outlined the guidelines for engagement. Attendees were asked to keep microphones off and post questions via chat to maintain a bilingual (English-Hindi) flow.

All participants were offered an exclusive EV VCU Troubleshooting Guidebook for completing the session, available here.

Participants were also encouraged to invite peers interested in EV careers and stay connected through the official Masterclass Group!

Inside the Session: The EV Career Roadmap

The EV Landscape in India

Rahul Kumar Bidawat began by highlighting the state of India’s e-mobility market, discussing leading OEMs such as Tata Motors, Mahindra, Tesla, BYD, MG, Citroen, Hyundai, and Porsche in the four-wheeler segment, and Ola, Ather, Ultraviolette, Log9, and Kinetic Green in the two- and three-wheeler space.

He noted that Tata and Mahindra dominate domestic EV sales, while startups continue to innovate, creating a surge in technical job opportunities across design, simulation, manufacturing, and diagnostics.

Case Study: Rare Earth Magnet Shortage

Rahul discussed the global rare earth magnet shortage, explaining how these magnets power EV motors due to their high efficiency and torque density. He pointed out that China’s export restrictions have disrupted global supply chains and shared industry perspectives, such as Rajiv Bajaj’s statement on potential Chetak production delays.

He then highlighted India’s innovation-led response: Ola Electric and Simple One recently launched rare earth magnet-free motor platforms, turning a supply crisis into a breakthrough in domestic innovation.

DIYguru’s Role in the EV Career Ecosystem

Rahul detailed how DIYguru empowers individuals by offering structured EV upskilling, consulting, and placement support.
He outlined key domains within the EV career ecosystem:

Each domain contributes to over 20 unique career pathways for EV professionals.

Embedded Systems in EV – The Next Big Skillset

Ashutosh Dehury shared deep insights into the growing importance of embedded systems in electric vehicles.
He explained that embedded controllers act as the brain of EVs, managing sensors, motors, and communication systems.

He recommended that beginners start with 8-bit microcontrollers (8051, ATmega, PIC) before progressing to 32-bit controllers like STM32, used in Electronic Control Units (ECUs). A modern EV, he noted, can have over 100 ECUs working simultaneously.

Emerging Roles in Embedded EV

• Motor Control Engineer

• Battery Management System (BMS) Engineer

• Firmware Developer

• ECU Design Specialist

• AUTOSAR/ADAS Engineer

Ashutosh highlighted that professionals from mechanical, electrical, and computer science backgrounds can transition successfully with strong programming skills in C, C++, and Python.

DIYguru’s Embedded Curriculum and EV Kit

Ashutosh introduced DIYguru’s in-house Embedded Systems Training Kit, developed using STM32F407 Discovery and F446 Nucleo boards.

The kit includes:

• MPU6050 sensors (gyro and accelerometer)

• LCDs, keypads, and charging modules

• Communication protocols: CAN, UART, SPI

This hands-on setup allows learners to simulate battery parameters, temperature readings, and communication diagnostics, mirroring real EV systems for immersive learning.

EV Industry Talent Gap and Placement Insights

Saher-E-Yaar Ashraf highlighted India’s growing need for skilled EV professionals, with a projected demand of over 1 million engineers by 2030. Currently, fewer than 20% of roles have qualified candidates — a gap DIYguru aims to fill through targeted training and placement programs.

DIYguru Placement Snapshot (July–September 2025)

Placement Geography:

• Pune leads with 43.8% of placements, followed by Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Delhi.

Experience Distribution:
