Test Coordinator Lead

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 Automotive V&V Test Coordinator Lead 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:

We are seeking a highly motivated and technically skilled Automotive Verification & Validation (V&V) System Engineer with specialized expertise in the Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging domain. In this role, you will be responsible for planning, developing, and executing comprehensive test strategies for EV charging systems, with a strong focus on Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) testing methodologies. You will collaborate closely with software, hardware, and systems engineering teams to ensure that charging system functionality meets the highest standards of quality, safety, and regulatory compliance.

Area of Responsibility

• Develop and maintain the end-to-end test execution plan across cycles (smoke, feature validation, regression, interoperability, compliance readiness) aligned to program milestones and sprint/release cadence.
• Define track test entry/exit criteria for each phase; conduct test readiness
• Coordinate and optimize utilization of HiL rigs, benches, EVSE simulators/toolkits, power supplies/loads, harnesses and FIU resources to avoid conflicts and maximize throughput.
• Own the test environment configuration baseline: ECU software versions, datasets, network/CAN databases, certificates (PnC), tooling versions.
• Ensure test results are reproducible by enforcing consistent configuration change logging.
• Track daily progress against plan: pass/fail trends, blocked tests, retest counts, coverage status, defect leakage, and readiness indicators.
• Run/coordinate defect triage cadence with cross-functional stakeholders; ensure proper prioritization, ownership assignment, and closure timelines.
• Enforce defect hygiene: clear reproduction steps, environment/build details, expected vs actual results, and complete attachments for faster root cause.
• Support continuous upkeep of requirements test case test script result traceability and maintain execution evidence for quality/audit needs.
• Validate AC charging (Level 1 / Level 2) and DC fast charging (CCS1/CCS2, CHAdeMO, GB/T) functionality across the full charge cycle.
• Support homologation and type approval testing (UL, TUV, CE, OEM-specific standards).
• Identify, document, and triage defects using Jira - including creating well-structured issues with clear steps to reproduce, expected vs. actual behavior, severity, and supporting logs/data.
• Generate Jira-based reports (sprint burndown, defect aging, open issues by component) for program status reviews.
• Participate in daily standups, bug triages, and sprint planning within Agile/Scrum frameworks.
• Partner with software, hardware, systems, and program management teams to align test activities with project milestones.

Knowledge / Experience

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, Automotive Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Experience managing integrated test schedules, execution governance, and multi-stakeholder coordination in automotive V&V programs (Agile/sprint-based delivery preferred).
• Proven ability to coordinate lab/HiL resource planning, including rig booking, test readiness checklists, and instrument availability.
• Strong configuration management mindset: maintaining environment baselines (build/version traceability, tool versions, datasets, certificates) and ensuring reproducibility of results.
• Demonstrated experience coordinating defect triage operations: prioritization, ownership assignment, SLA tracking, and closure governance.
• Experience in Automotive System Testing/V&V coordination or Test Operations (EV/charging programs preferred), including lab execution planning and stakeholder reporting
• Proficiency in charging communication protocols: IEC 61851-1/3, ISO 15118-2/20, DIN SPEC 70121, CHAdeMO, GB/T 27930.
• Familiarity with charging standards and safety regulations: SAE J1772, IEC 62196, UL 2202, OEM-specific requirements.
• Knowledge of high-voltage (HV) safety fundamentals and EV electrical architecture (400V / 800V platforms).

In return for bringing your expertise to our business we offer a competitive salary along with excellent benefits including:

• Pension Scheme - We match employee contribution up to 5% of salary
• 25 Days' Holiday
• Private Health Care
• Tata Jaguar Land Rover Privilege Scheme - up to 20% off new JLR vehicles
• Group Income Protection
• Health Assured - Employee Assistance Program
• Group Life Assurance
• Health Shield - Private Health Cash Plan
