Tata Elxsi, a global leader in design and technology services, is set to expand its UK footprint with the creation of new technology and new engineering jobs at its Coventry-based design hub. The investment plans reinforce Tata Group’s strategic commitment to the UK’s West Midlands region, which represents its largest presence outside of India.

Tata Elxsi’s Coventry design hub has been identified as a Centre of Excellence for Cybersecurity and AI, aligned to its strategy for Software Defined Vehicles (SDV). It is among very few companies in the world focusing on such specialised areas of technology and is actively recruiting and training engineers for advanced cybersecurity for automotive customers globally.

Its efforts comply with stringent standards, including the UNECE R155/ R156 regulations and ISO 21434, a globally recognised standard for automotive cybersecurity.

Since establishing its design hub in September 2022, Tata Elxsi has significantly expanded its presence in Coventry, with over 100 engineering positions already recruited from prestigious West Midlands institutions, the University of Warwick, the University of Birmingham and the University of Coventry.

The creation of an additional jobs over the next three years emphasises the business’ commitment to driving UK-based innovation and design-led technological advancement, while supporting local communities through the creation of high-value jobs.

This is part of a larger strategy for Tata Elxsi to scale its technology and engineering base in the UK, addressing the automotive as well as the media and communications sector. This will be complemented by Tata Elxsi’s London Design Studio that is driving a user-led and design thinking approach to products and services, and investments in AI technologies. Demonstrating further commitment to developing next-generation talent, Tata Elxsi is also proudly sponsoring Formula Student UK in collaboration with JLR.

Manoj Raghavan, MD & CEO at Tata Elxsi, said:

“The UK is a key market for us, and the scaling of our Coventry Design Hub, along with our investments in cybersecurity and AI, underscore our commitment to this region.

“By collaborating with key customers and academic institutions, we are not only nurturing the next generation of design and engineering talent, but also contributing to the UK's leadership in emerging technologies. We look forward to furthering our business expansion and technological advancements in the region.”

Mayor of the West Midlands, Richard Parker, said:

“Tata Elxsi is pioneering industry-defining, future technologies right here in the West Midlands, though its Global Centre of Excellence. The firm’s continued investment in Coventry exemplifies the strength of our innovation ecosystem, and in particular, the region’s tech-proficient talentpool.

I’m pleased the firm is creating skilled engineering jobs for local people by recruiting directly from the region’s universities across Birmingham, Coventry and Warwickshire. I look forward to supporting the business’ continued growth in the West Midlands over the coming years.”
