Software
The automobile is becoming more and more reliant on software each year and modern Jaguar Land Rover vehicles are amongst the most advanced technology people use on a daily basis. Before the customer enters the car, it is identifying the key fob and their phone to recognise them and allow access; on their journey, software aids their driving with stability and assistance systems, and provides a welcoming and refined user experience through in-vehicle infotainment. And Software is key to driving these technology advances whether in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), Infotainment or new electric propulsion. Software Engineers are key to the future of Jaguar Land Rover.
Our Software Engineering teams are responsible for designing and developing software which is running both inside and outside of the vehicle, supporting all of the features a customer expects from a Jaguar Land Rover product. We use iterative and concurrent engineering approaches to provide robust software innovation and integration into Jaguar and Land Rover products.
