At Tata Technologies we make product development dreams a reality by designing, engineering and validating the products of tomorrow for the world’s leading manufacturers. Due to our continued growth we are now recruiting for a RIG Engineer to be based at our office in Warwick.
Our Embedded Systems Solutions department (ESS) encompasses all activities outlined under the Automotive SPICE (ASPICE) process framework, including systems engineering, software engineering, coding, and all levels of functional testing. Beyond core development, ESS also integrates critical supporting processes such as project management, risk assessment, functional safety, and cybersecurity, ensuring compliance with ASPICE standards and delivering reliable, secure, and high-quality embedded systems & solutions.
The Role:
Responsible for building and maintaining test rigs, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) equipment and Hardware Design. Component/Full System HIL Verification & Validation projects for design, development, releasing, integration and delivery of state-of-the-art systems delivery for Electrical and Electronics Integration. The role involves HIL architecture design, load panel and wiring harness development, and integration of NI‑based HIL platforms to support automated and manual testing across automotive domains. This position would be working within ESS area of Tata Technologies and specifically on Vehicle Programmes. The fast paced development provides a challenging environment suited to an engineer who can quickly develop skills in new areas and liaise with and drive other engineers within a multidisciplinary/ global team. Our customers expect high standards and we require staff capable of meeting such demands. Responsible for HIL Simulator Design ,Build & commisioning for ePowertrain, Chassis,BMS, Charging Domain for NI based Test Systems.
Area of Responsibility
1. Specification and implementation of HIL systems for ePowertrain, BMS and Charging Domain
2. Design and implementation of signal and power level HIL
3. Specification of HIL tests for all ePowertrain/BMS/Charging projects. Work closely with team memebers to support the integration of new and updated plant models for use with HIL systems
4. HIL facilities maintenance and upgrade work for HIL, including the support for control strategies design modelling, development and integration for driveline subsystems and attributes; control module validation and implementation onto test rigs
5. Design and build load panels (resistive, inductive, lamp loads, motor simulation). Create wiring harnesses, breakout boxes, and patch panels per ECU pin‑out. Prepare electrical schematics, harness drawings, and connection tables.
6. Develop and maintain detailed documentation of HIL system hardware and software components
7. Development of automated test facilities including the capability of fault insertion and diagnostic facilities in support of System integration and verification.
8. Perform verification and validation testing on HIL for HIL Rig comissioning sign-off.
9. Develop new test setup and methodologies to help in front loading the development activities into early stages of V cycle
10. Willingness to work in different test environments (HiL, Component, and vehicle setups)
11. Cooperation with our HIL team to ensure best practice is learnt and applied by both teams.
12. Problem investigation and resolution.
13. Supporting benchmarking and requirement capture activities.
14. Working as part of an integrated multifunctional product team which is responsible for delivering complex projects.
15. Role based in the UK. Occasional travel to client sites.
