HI intensity mapping (IM) is an exciting new probe that could revolutionize the future of cosmology. However, the relative faintness of the HI signal when compared to foregrounds of astrophysical or terrestrial origin will make HI IM extremely challenging. The imprint of these foregrounds may result in systematic errors in the recovered cosmological signal. We discuss an IM simulation pipeline developed at Manchester that can introduce systematic errors at the TOD level in order to help assess their impact. We will present results for two potential sources of systematics for HI IM surveys: 1/f noise and the integrated emission from global navigation satellites.
