Our future-focused vehicles incorporate some of the most advanced technology in everyday use on the planet, utilising software that is essential in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), Infotainment and new electric propulsion. That puts our Software Engineers at the heart of innovating world-class products, and at the forefront proudly creating the exceptional. As a successful undergraduate in this area of engineering, you will work alongside experienced engineers who will guide and support your growth into becoming an experienced member of the software engineering community. During your placement, you’ll work within one of our software teams to deliver best quality and reliable features that delight customers – gaining valuable insight into robust design and implementation and advanced validation techniques or developing tools and processes to support the work of our engineering teams.

On the Software Undergraduate Programme you could work in one of the following departments: Digital Product Platform (DPP), Engineering Propulsion (EP), Engineering Operations (EO), Engineering Vehicle (EV), Engineering Reserarch (ER), Engineering Business Excellence or Vehicle Programmes.

Hardware and Mechatronics are at the heart of all JLR vehicles and fundamental to how we address evolving engineering challenges. Our vehicle dynamics and off-road capability really set us apart, but we also focus on noise vibration harshness, door systems, headlamps, glazing and seats, with a remit spanning mechanical design, integration and systems engineering. Our mission is to deliver outstanding customer experiences. This is supported by the creative and innovative skills of our people as well as the range of tools and processes we use. Failure mode and effect analysis are fundamental to providing safety-critical, high-performing and high-quality systems for our customers.

Throughout the design and verification process, you will utilise both Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) toolsets to deliver the engineering specifications, with world-class system engineering tools to assist you in designing electromechanical control systems.

On the Hardware and Mechatronics Undergraduate Programme you could work in one of the following departments: Engineering Body Chassis (EBC), Engineering Propulsion (EP), Engineering Vehicle (EV), Engineering Operations (EO), Engineering Business Excellence, Engineering Research (ER) or Vehicle Programmes.

Fossil fuels have dominated automotive propulsion since cars were introduced, but our priorities are now very different. By the middle of the decade, Jaguar will have undergone a renaissance to emerge as a pure-electric luxury brand – and you could help shape this. You will become a key part of the team, working in multiple departments during your placement, helping you develop a well-rounded understanding of the business. Learning what it takes to deliver the high-quality propulsion systems of the future, you will evolve into an experienced member of the propulsion engineering community.

To develop your skills and competencies, you will operate in a range of different environments using a mixture of engineering tools such as Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) and Computer Aided Design (CAD), plus data analysis techniques while working closely with customer groups. The scheme will also feature a number of shadowing opportunities, and you will collaborate closely with your managers to identify options suitable for your learning and growth.

On the Future Propulsion Systems Undergraduate Programme you could work in one of the following departments: Engineering Propulsion (EP) or Engineering Operations (EO).

Automotive systems are increasing in complexity and becoming highly distributed across the vehicle platform. Electronics systems and their components are the driving force behind our cutting-edge customer-facing features, from assisted and automated driving to the quality-of-life improvements our customers expect when using their vehicles. On the Electronics & Complex Integration Undergraduate Programme you could work in one of the following departments: Engineering Body Chassis (EBC), Engineering Operations (EO), Engineering Propulsion (EP), Digital Product Platform (DPP), Engineering Research, Engineering Vehicle, Vehicle Programmes or Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) Manufacturing.
