Purpose of the Role

This is an Integration & Program Manager role in Tata Motors' Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) and connected car platform. The person brings together all the pieces of a vehicle programme — mechanical systems, electronics, and software — and makes sure they come together on time as a complete, tested, and release-ready product for both India and global markets.

This is a delivery and coordination role, not a hands-on development role. Working as Scrum Master for one or more programme streams, the person runs the delivery process — planning, prioritising, tracking progress, and clearing roadblocks — and is accountable for the programme plan, supplier coordination, issue closure, and gateway sign-offs from early build through to Start of Production. We welcome engineers from both mechanical and electronics backgrounds; what matters most is strong programme delivery, integration thinking, and the ability to coordinate teams across domains.

Job ResponsibilitiesSystem Integration &

• Delivery• Bring together mechanical, electronics, and software subsystems into complete, tested vehicle builds.

• Plan the integration roadmap and map dependencies across teams so nothing is missed and work happens in the right order.

• Coordinate deliverables from internal teams and suppliers, and keep versions and configurations aligned.

• Set up and manage test benches and vehicle prototypes for step-by-step integration and early problem detection.

• Track integration progress and drive quick resolution of any blockers with the responsible teams.

• Ensure builds are ready for release, including over-the-air (OTA) software updates where applicable.Connected Car &

• SDV Coordination• Coordinate delivery of connected features — remote commands, OTA updates, navigation, and subscription services.

and escalate blockers with clear options.

• Prepare engineering sign-offs for Pre-Production and Start of Production gateways.

• Own gateway and functional audits, keeping the programme audit-ready at all times.

• Prepare status dashboards and readiness scorecards for senior management reviews.Scrum Master &

• Delivery Process• Serve as Scrum Master for one or more streams — running the delivery cadence as a management process.

• Facilitate planning, stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives across cross-functional teams.

• Own and prioritise the delivery backlog so work is well-defined and sequenced against gateways.

• Track delivery health against milestones and remove impediments blocking the teams.

• Protect teams from scope churn while agreeing realistic commitments with technical leads.

• Apply Agile / SAFe ways of working within the automotive V-model and ASPICE gates. Quality, Root-Cause &

• Issue Closure• Drive root-cause analysis on integration and validation issues and enable timely corrections.

• Track, prioritise, and close issues using structured 8D methods with the responsible functions.

• Analyse field and test failures, coordinate reproduction, and follow corrective actions to closure.

• Keep requirements linked to test evidence to satisfy ASPICE and functional-safety needs.Collaboration &

• Coordination• Work daily with mechanical, electronics, software, and supplier teams to align interfaces and timelines.

• Coordinate with global engineering centres (North America, Europe) for convergence across markets.

• Lead cross-domain review forums, driving clearance checks before build and validation.

• Align with customer-experience teams on feature targets against benchmarks.

• Mentor engineers on integration planning, gateway discipline, and Agile ways of working.Desired Candidate Profile
