Software Defined Vehicle Networks Engineer

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 Software Defined Vehicle Networks 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 SDV networks engineer is responsible for

1. Network communication design release alignment to the network architecture design. 


2. Definition of IEEE1722 ethernet packets for multiple use cases. 


3. Audio over Ethernet analysis and packet definition. 


4. Analysis of the end-to-end communication timing constraints for specific use cases.  


5. Support rig and vehicle builds with network releases. 

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.

The Project 

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
