Tata Electronics Seeks Customer Engineering Manager for EV Semiconductors
Santa Rosa, Thursday, 20 March 2025.
Tata Electronics is recruiting a Customer Engineering Manager to enhance semiconductor operations for electric vehicles, meeting the rising demand for automotive electronics expertise in Europe.
Strategic Expansion in Semiconductor Manufacturing
The recruitment drive comes amid Tata Electronics’ significant expansion in semiconductor manufacturing, particularly with their INR 910 billion (US$10.44 billion) investment in a semiconductor fabrication plant in Dholera, Gujarat [2]. This facility, approved in February 2024, will have a production capacity of 50,000 wafers per month and is expected to create over 20,000 direct and indirect jobs [2]. The timing of this hiring initiative aligns with Tata’s broader strategy to strengthen its position in the global semiconductor supply chain, particularly in the rapidly growing electric vehicle sector.
Technical Requirements and Industry Standards
The role demands extensive expertise in semiconductor supply chain management and testing protocols for automotive electronics [1]. Key responsibilities include managing vision CCD systems, industrial robotics, and programming expertise in PLC, C#, and Python [7]. The position requires proficiency in industrial communication protocols such as Ethernet/IP, Modbus, and ProfNet, reflecting the sophisticated technical infrastructure needed for modern semiconductor manufacturing [7].
Market Impact and Future Prospects
This strategic hiring aligns with Tata Electronics’ collaboration with Tokyo Electron, established through an MoU in September 2024, for equipment procurement and services for semiconductor facilities [2]. The company’s commitment to developing semiconductor capabilities is further evidenced by their plan to design 15 semiconductor products by 2027 [2]. This expansion comes at a crucial time when the Indian semiconductor industry is projected to create 1.2 million jobs across various roles [2], positioning Tata Electronics at the forefront of this technological revolution.
