Tata Technologies
Overview
The Production Launch Engineer will provide on-site support of the build team launching a low‑volume (niche) vehicle. The role will also include design and release activities to resolve launch issues as they arise. Responsibilities
Review existing build process documentation to ensure alignment with procedural sequencing. Develop new build process documentation as needed. Provide line‑side engineering support to identify emerging issues and define corrective actions (interim containment and permanent resolution). Track launch issues and report status. Design & Release Tasks
Reverse engineer OEM front‑end accessory drive (FEAD) bracket, develop cast and machined 3D models and relevant 2D drawings (D&R experience and casting familiarity). Design and release a replacement heat sleeve solution for electrical ignition hardware (D&R experience and thermal/heat management familiarity). Collaborate with commodity buyers to develop sourcing agreements and ensure purchase orders are in place. Establish quality requirements for newly designed parts and work with supplier quality team to ensure incoming compliance. Work with supply base to ensure on‑time delivery plans are in place. Assume ownership of additional powertrain components as launch issues arise. Define and document “transparency” validation for any newly designed or resourced hardware. Provide status updates and formal presentation to customers (written and verbal). Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or related field. High mechanical aptitude; working knowledge of generic product development tasks from inception to production. Basic understanding of all powertrain subsystems: IC engines, air induction & filtration, fuel systems (gasoline, diesel, CNG, LPG), powertrain thermal systems (engine cooling and HVAC). Willingness to adapt and work on multiple powertrain subsystems during launch. Ability to read and interpret technical prints and assembly instructions. Working knowledge of GD&T. Familiarity with dFMEA and DVP&R documents. Excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal communication; critical thinking and problem‑solving skills. Ability to work independently and in team settings while handling multiple assignments simultaneously. MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint proficiency. Valid driver’s license and willingness to use personal vehicle for occasional transport of small parts. Preferences
Prior production launch experience. Previous D&R experience. Casting development (geometry design, material selection, tooling and process familiarity). FEAD knowledge – prior experience/familiarity with FEAD layouts and tolerancing strategies. Heat shielding and heat management. Seniority Level
