WHAT TO EXPECT

The Electrification Core Engineering team requires experienced Electrical Engineers to apply world class design and analysis skills to improve Jaguar Land Rover's capability to deliver the next generation of HV Power Supply Systems.

The objective is to deliver levels of reliability and robustness into the Electric and Hybrid propulsion systems, exceeding anything that we have seen before by using the latest tools and best practice Engineering Techniques.

Key Accountabilities and Responsibilities

• Lead and Coordinate the Systems Engineering process for HV Systems, generating the artefacts required at L3-4 that fully define the requirements and targets for the HV Systems.
• Working with the Lead Engineers in the HV system team to define and cascade these to propulsion and energy storage component teams.
• Analyse, author, review and document system requirements and test cases for the HV Power Supply Systems.
• Contribute to the Design and Release of multiple HV System Architectures across various Electrified Powertrain programmes.
• Report status of System Design and Design issues to the Powertrain Programme teams.
• Lead the implementation of the new Systems Engineering tool chains.
• Maintain the Systems Engineering Documentation and Storage.
• Ensure robust timing plans are met to achieve Program milestones and targets (Quality, Cost, Functionality, Weight, and timing).
• Work with a Statement of Requirements to support supplier sourcing and work with the matched pair through the GSP process.
• Ensure DFMEA, Design Rules, TRM, Statement of Work process/documents are diligently and transparently implemented in the design condition at the appropriate design maturity gateways.
• Lead issue resolution (AIMS) and Change Management processes to ensure that all changes are implemented robustly and support programme objectives.
