Lead Engineer - Electrical & Electronics

Job Title: Lead Engineer Electrical & Electronics (E&E / Vehicle Program)

Employment Type:

Role Summary

The Lead Engineer Electrical & Electronics will be responsible for liaising with the Platform team and VES COEs to ensure programdefined Target Cost & Time Plan (TCP) targets from L1 to L4 are met. The role involves preparing and monitoring timeplans, controlling timeline revisions, and communicating updates to respective COE teams. The engineer will also monitor project risks, escalate issues to GPHs and delivery heads, and represent GPHs in gateway and NPQ review meetings.

You will track software releases, monitor CMTCP timelines and performance, circulate project MIS reports, and maintain projectspecific issue lists. Additionally, you will support scope finalization for new programs, assist in budget estimation, EBOM release, parts tracking, and oversee supplier development activities. The role also includes monitoring investment and material costs, preparing NDAs/PRPOs/contracts if required, and knowledge management for E&E systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Liaise with Platform team and VES COEs to ensure E&E deliverables meet programdefined TCP targets (L1 to L4).

• Prepare and maintain project timeplans; control timeline revisions and communicate updates to relevant teams.

• Monitor project risks; escalate critical issues to GPHs / delivery heads; represent GPHs in review and NPQ meetings.

• Track software and system releases; monitor CMTCP (cost, manufacturing, time & control plan) performance and adherence.

• Generate and circulate regular project MIS reports; maintain and update projectspecific issue logs until closure.

• Support scope definition for new programs including budget estimation, material cost planning, EBOM release, parts tracking and buildintent signoff.

• Oversee supplier development and readiness for electrical/electronic components coordinate with sourcing, quality, validation, and manufacturing teams.

• Monitor investment and material costs; report deviations and cost variances to program leadership.

• Manage contractual and procurement documentation if needed (NDA/PRPO/contracts) for E&E components or suppliers.

• Maintain knowledge repository for E&E systems and processes document learnings, changes, and ensure knowledge transfer across projects.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• BE/B.Tech in Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, Automobile Engineering or equivalent discipline.

• Strong background in automotive Electrical & Electronics systems wiring, ECUs, invehicle networking (e.g. CAN/LIN), vehicle electrical architecture and integration.

• Proven experience in vehicle program management: handling timelines, milestones, coordination across multiple stakeholders, and delivery of complex E&E packages.

• Good understanding of cost versus performance tradeoffs, material costing, budget estimation, supplier coordination, and partstracking.

• Strong analytical, riskassessment and decisionmaking skills; capable of managing multiple priorities under pressure.

• Excellent communication and stakeholdermanagement skills able to interact with platform engineers, COE leads, manufacturing, sourcing, suppliers, and senior management.

• Ability to work independently, manage changecontrol, and drive accountability for deliverables.

• Flexibility to travel if required (e.g. supplier sites, manufacturing plants, crosssite coordination).

(Preferred) Additional Attributes

• Exposure to both ICE (PV) and EV projects giving a broad understanding of electrical/E&E system requirements across different vehicle platforms.

• Experience in BOM management, parts tracking, buildintent signoff, supplier qualification processes.

• Familiarity with automotive quality and compliance standards, systemlevel validation, and release procedures for electrical/electronic systems.

• Background in cost optimization or value engineering (VAVE/IMCR) for electrical/electronic systems.

• Understanding of changecontrol processes, configuration management, and knowledge management for engineering projects.

What This Role Offers

• Endtoend ownership of critical E&E deliverables for vehicle programs, influencing architecture, cost, quality, and integration from concept to production.

• A crossfunctional and leadershiporiented role with exposure across engineering, sourcing, manufacturing, supplier management, and program leadership.

• Opportunity to work on cuttingedge automotive programs (PV and/or EV), contributing to the next generation of vehicle electrical and electronic systems.

• A challenging and dynamic environment with scope for professional growth and significant impact on project success.
