Role description
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 continued growth, we are recruiting for a CAD & Vehicle Packaging Engineer role, based in Warwick, UK.
The Role
The CAD & Vehicle Packaging Engineer is responsible for developing high-quality 3D models, defining vehicle hardpoints, and ensuring seamless integration of components and systems across the entire vehicle architecture. This role combines detailed CAD design with full-vehicle packaging ownership, supporting both early-phase concept development and detailed engineering.
Area of Responsibilities
- 3D CAD Modelling — Create and maintain robust 3D models and assemblies for vehicle systems.
- Vehicle Architecture Development — Define spatial layouts for powertrain, chassis, interior, electrical, and thermal systems.
- Hardpoint Definition — Establish and manage the master hardpoint database for the vehicle.
- Occupant Packaging — Ensure ergonomic comfort, visibility, ingress/egress, and compliance with human-factors requirements.
- Regulatory Compliance — Apply global standards (FMVSS, ECE, GTR) to packaging and design decisions.
- DMU & Virtual Builds — Lead digital mock-up reviews to validate clearances, interfaces, and serviceability.
- Cross-Functional Integration — Resolve packaging conflicts across body, chassis, powertrain, interior, and electrical teams.
- Benchmarking — Analyse competitor vehicles to inform architecture and design decisions.
- Change Management — Manage CAD updates, version control, and release workflows in PLM systems.
