At Tata Technologies we make product development dreams a reality by designing, engineering and validating the products of tomorrow for the worlds leading manufacturers. Due to our continued growth we are now recruiting for a Hardware System Sizing Engineerto be based at our customers site in Gaydon.
Our Engineering Research and Development department (ER&D) is a fast growing function within Tata Technologies Limited that is assembled to work on exciting projects globally for multiple customers. It comprises highly specialized engineers across Automotive, Aerospace and Industrial Heavy Machinery.
The Role:
As a Hardware System Sizing Engineer, you will be responsible for defining and optimizing the physical and performance characteristics of propulsion system components for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (xHEVs). This includes sizing of electric motors, inverters, battery packs, and associated cooling systems to meet vehicle-level performance, efficiency, and durability targets. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure robust system integration and alignment with program requirements.
Area of Responsibility
* Lead hardware sizing activities for propulsion system components including e-motors, inverters, battery packs, and cooling modules
* Translate vehicle-level performance targets into component-level sizing and specification requirements
* Perform trade-off studies and parametric analysis to balance performance, cost, weight, and thermal constraints
* Develop and maintain sizing models using tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, Excel-based calculators, or proprietary platforms
* Collaborate with system architects, thermal engineers, and controls teams to ensure optimal system-level integration
* Support benchmarking and technology roadmap activities to inform sizing strategies
* Contribute to design reviews, DFMEAs, and validation planning for hardware components
* Document sizing rationale and maintain traceability to system requirements and vehicle targets
Knowledge / Experience
* Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field (Masters preferred)
* Strong understanding of electromechanical systems, thermodynamics, and energy conversion
* Powertrain domain experience required. Also experience in sizing propulsion components for automotive or aerospace applications will be helpful
* Proficiency in modelling and simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, GT-Suite, Excel VBA)
* Familiarity with BEV/xHEV architectures and performance requirements
* Knowledge of automotive development processes and system engineering principles
* Strong analytical, communication, and documentation skills
Preferred Experience
* Prior experience in electrified powertrain development or system architecture
* Exposure to battery pack sizing, inverter thermal limits, and motor torque-speed mapping
* Understanding of vehicle-level drive cycles and energy consumption modelling
* Experience with requirement management tools (e.g RMDV, TRM, XRAY)
