Calibration Lead - ePowertrain

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 Calibration Lead - ePowertrain to be based at our customer's office in Gaydon.

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.

Role Summary

Responsible for leading ePowertrain calibration domain strategy across electrified propulsion programmes. The role owns calibration planning, maturity governance, calibration data readiness, vehicle build support, validation alignment, issue resolution, and cross-functional delivery for torque, energy, diagnostics, thermal, charging, drivability, and safety-related calibration areas.

Dimension of Function

·Calibration planning aligned to FIS, software maturity, HiL/PiL readiness, dyno, rig, mule, VB build, and vehicle sign-off milestones.

·Governance of calibration maturity, data release, change control, issue closure, measurement requirements, and validation evidence.

·Technical alignment across systems, controls, software, diagnostics, FUSA, validation, vehicle integration, suppliers, and OEM stakeholders.

Area of Responsibility

·Define calibration delivery strategy, domain scope, maturity gates, resource needs, and milestone plans for ePowertrain calibration activities.

·Lead calibration readiness reviews for control features, diagnostics, driveability, energy management, thermal limits, charging, and safety-related functions.

·Coordinate calibration inputs for FIS, software freeze, vehicle build, validation planning, release readiness, and programme gateway reviews.

·Review calibration dataset maturity, parameter dependency, measurement signals, logging needs, test environment readiness, and validation evidence.

·Lead issue triage and root cause investigations involving calibration data, functional behaviour, diagnostic triggers, performance targets, and customer symptoms.

·Manage calibration risks, open points, supplier dependencies, escalation topics, and cross-functional action plans through closure.

·Ensure calibration activities align with requirements, control specifications, diagnostics strategy, functional safety assumptions, and cybersecurity constraints.

·Mentor calibration engineers and provide technical direction across UK, India, supplier, and vehicle integration teams.

Knowledge / Experience
