Think beyond the future of mobility and see your vision come to life. Join us in creating automated, connected, electrified and shared vehicles. With ongoing training and development, we offer a range of programmes, roles and projects you can take on – from new concept development, to detailed system engineering and prototype progression for our expanding range of vehicles.

Our graduate opportunities offer the perfect blend of personal and professional development. Network with other graduates, build relationships across the entire business, and watch your career grow. To make sure your programme is dynamic and engaging, we have a dedicated graduate development team, who will be working to design, update and develop a range of learning experiences for you.

Some of these will build up your technical expertise and enable you to perform confidently in your business area and role. Others will prepare you for your career after the scheme ends. You’ll also take part in training to help you understand yourself, others, and gain insight into our business. From the start, we’ll provide you with support specifically tailored to your role.

The Role

JLR Design can be split into creative and delivery pillars. Within the creative pillar sits the Studio Modelling function which consists of the Clay Modelling team, Design Visualisation & Animation (DVA) team and  Creative Aesthetics & Surface development (CAS) team. These teams work together to develop 2D drawings and engineering packages into Photo realistic images or animations and Physical properties. Opportunities exist within; 


Design Visualisation & Animation (DVA)

The DVA team are a highly creative and multi-faceted team that provide compelling and exciting Still Images, Animations, Virtual Presentation material and film assets, to the highest standards of visual quality. Using CG industry recognised software and processes, these creative outputs are used in presentation material that support Design in achieving gateways, facilitating Board reviews and a variety of other high-level reviews and events. From an initial concept all the way through a vehicle program to its launch to the world, the DVA team provide on-brand visual stimulus. 

As a member of the DVA team you will be multi-facing, interacting and collaborating with many customers both internal to Design and external across the wider business, including Digital suppliers. Using digital data from the CAS and surfacing teams, the DVA team are required to provide both creative and technical digital solutions that promote a vehicle concept or idea. As a vehicle moves towards the launch phase, the DVA team support a program with digital imagery, animations and film assets to highest levels of photorealism for use on social media platforms. Researching new processes, techniques and technologies is an important part of the role to ensure that the team stay at the forefront of Automotive Visualisation. 

Required

Excellence runs throughout our entire business and we would expect you to be the same. So as well as being on track to achieve a degree in Transport & Automotive Design or 3D Digital Design or Animation at 2:2 level or higher, you’ll need a clear understanding of practical automotive design, engineering and model development.
