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 our continued growth we are now recruiting for a Concept & Vehicle Packaging Engineer to be based at our office in Warwick.
This is a 3 month contractor position with expected start date in October and ending December. Limited company contractors can be considered and role is positioned as outside of IR35 subject to an IR35 assessment being completed at the offer stage.
The Role
The Concept CAD & Vehicle Packaging Engineer is responsible for developing high‑quality 3D models from scratch with minimum input, 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 Responsibility
- 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.
