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 Hardware Systems 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:
The Hardware systems engineer is responsible for determining the requirements for the following
1. Required connectivity to support the sensors/actuators/controllers hosted by the hardware.
2. Placement, brackets and packaging of the part in the vehicle
3. Support rig and vehicle builds with part details and debugging
4. Hardware requirements coming from support areas like functional safety, diagnostics, networks, and cyber security From concept to series-development the successful candidate will ensure the delivery of requirement package for the hardware that allows fitment of the designed part in the vehicle. Candidate must be hungry for success with a keen eye for detail and quality. Ability to take criticism and challenge with facts and evidence to ensure there is no ambiguity that communications are clear and timely and through the relevant channels. Reporting must be concise and to the point. Planning and execution of those fully tracked and reported.
Area of Responsibility
Full vehicle development for an OEM. Work options will include both onsite and remote depending on regulations governing travel. This opportunity, the environment and culture you will be working in will be a significant stepping stone in your engineering career, something you will take great pride in and a point of reflection in later life.
