Module Leader – Exhaust System (HEV/PHEV) Based at Tata Jaguar Land Rover site, Gaydon
About the Role
Tata Technologies transforms automotive and industrial product development dreams into reality by innovating in design, engineering, and validation for global manufacturers. Our Engineering Research and Development (ER&D) department—specializing in Automotive, Aerospace, and Industrial Heavy Machinery—seeks a Module Leader for HEV/PHEV Exhaust Systems to join our growing team. This remote/hybrid role is based at Jaguar Land Rover’s site in Gaydon, with occasional travel for program engagement.
As the Exhaust Systems Subject Matter Expert, you will lead end-to-end development for hybrid powertrains, collaborating across vehicle systems to meet technical, regulatory, and business targets.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership
- Act as the SME for HEV/PHEV exhaust systems, delivering design, development, integration, validation, and compliance for full exhaust solutions.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Engage with propulsion, calibration, NVH, thermal, and manufacturing teams to align exhaust systems with vehicle architecture.
- Lead Supplier and Staff Engineer coordination for component delivery, cost optimization, and schedule compliance.
Design and Validation
- Define and iterate exhaust system designs, including:
- Manifold interfaces
- Catalytic converters & GPF/DPF systems
- Mufflers, resonators, tailpipes
- Exhaust valves, brackets, and heat shields
- Thermal protective systems
- Ensure compliance with global emissions (or regulatory), NVH, and durability standards (e.g., Euro 6d, California CARB).
- Conduct root cause analysis for failures in emissions, acoustics, durability, or production issues.
Process-Ownership
- Manage requirements management (DVP&R) and DFMEA activities.
- Lead design reviews, maturity assessments, and transactional sign-offs.
- Monitor thermal management, underbody packaging, and outskirts integration during vehicle development.
