DSA Testing Lead 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 DSA Engineer to be based at our customers site in Crewe.

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 role involves developing and implementing vehicle End-of-Line (EOL) test routines and processes to validate electrical systems during manufacturing. Responsibilities include managing EOL test equipment, improving First Time Through (FTT) rates, and collaborating with multidisciplinary engineers to create scalable validation procedures. The role also involves identifying and resolving issues during vehicle bring-up and EOL testing, developing engineering tools for software flashing and diagnostics, and providing on-site support to manufacturing partners for troubleshooting and sensor calibration.

Dimension of Function:
• Develop vehicle EOL test routines using in-house/third-party authoring tools
• Develop and implement processes to bring up and validate the vehicle\’s electrical systems during manufacturing processes.
• Develop and implement systems to manage and maintain End-of-Line (EOL) test equipment
• Lead initiatives to improve EOL FTT (First Time Through rate)
• Work closely with multidisciplinary engineers to collect and interpret the component and vehicle level requirements and to translate them into a scalable system-level validation procedure to be performed during the vehicle testing process.
• Identify the root causes of issues during vehicle bring-up, and EOL testing, and work with client software integration/manufacturing teams to develop robust resolutions.
• Develop engineering tools to support activities such as software flashing, diagnostic services, and engineering data exchange. This may include working collaboratively with vendors to formulate and build applications and tool customizations to optimize and automate the software updating process.
• Provide on-site support to manufacturing partners to manage vehicle bring-up including troubleshooting of vehicle systems, end-of-line testing, and sensor calibration.
