Job summary

Mahindra And Mahindra Ltd. is seeking an experienced Vehicle Programs Engineer with 15+ years in developing and delivering advanced vehicle programs, including powertrain changes and regulation-driven homologations.

The role focuses on achieving system and vehicle-level performance targets, with emphasis on EV architectures and cross-functional integration. You will drive risk assessment, sign-offs, and seamless handover to manufacturing, ensuring feasibility within platform targets while

Qualifications

• 15+ years of experience in developing and delivering vehicle programs, including power train change, refresh programs and regulation driven programs (domestic and overseas homologations).
• Experience with vehicle evaluation and understanding cost drivers leading to cost buildup.
• Exposure to CAE tools, problem solving tools and simulation environments to support design decisions.

Responsibilities

• Ensure achievement of all system and vehicle-level performance targets, selecting benchmarks and FI targets with cross-functional teams.
• Oversee integration of EV subsystems (Battery, e-axle, BMS, inverter, IPDU, VCU, cooling) with VA/VI support and timely engineering sign-offs.
• Assess and mitigate technical risks, approve feasible engineering solutions, and close ORCs/concerns raised by COEs/labs.
• Guide trade-offs to stay within platform targets and deliver product targets (performance, weight, cost).
• Coordinate from R&D to production for technology adoption and regulatory compliance.

Job description

Select how often (in days) to receive an alert:

• Sets vehicle -level performance targets as Range, dynamics,efficiency,safety
• Awareness of emerging EV trends and technologies along with EV regulations
• Understanding of dark current strategy
• Understanding of IP67 requirements
• Exposure to vehicle performance evaluation
• Takes inputs from CoEs/PPH for cost and weight optimization against targets
• Takes inputs from Validation COE for project risks on performance & reliability
• Focus on regulatory compliance and zero validation failures
• Technology adoption from R&D to production
• Strong technical expertise in EV architecture, dynamics and performance engineering.
• Ensures achievement of all system as well as vehicle-level performance targets set, thereby ensuring:
• Selecting correct set of benchmarks and deciding FI targets with CFT
• Ensures right integration of all the EV systems (Battery, E-axle BMS, inverter,IPDU,VCU,cooling system) with the help of VA&VI
• Timely closure of all engg. Decisions with desired quality, optimum cost and minimum deviations
• Delivery of Product targets (Performance, Weight, Cost, etc)
• Ensure timely completion of technical sign-off by CoEs.
• Evaluate feasible engineering solutions for timely closure of all ORCs/concerns raised by all support CoEs /labs
• Suggest technical risk mitigation plans to CPH
• Ensures all performance trade-offs are in conformance with platform targets:
• Solves for performance trade-offs and reallocates performance targets across systems/CoEs that lie within pre-defined limits to ensure that there are no overall Performance deviations
• Completes engineering sign-off for project handover to manufacturing/ PVE for Launch
