Product Engineering at JLR is centred on innovation and creativity. From advanced driver assistance systems to developing the future of electric propulsion, the opportunities to create exceptional experiences for the future of motoring are wide-ranging. You'll work alongside industry experts to drive product strategy, manage programs, analyse performance, and lead transformation initiatives. Exceptional careers that bring world-renowned vehicles to life start here.

Join JLR as a Senior System Architect for Vehicle Platform Health Management, where you will play a key role in shaping the next generation of our all-electric platforms. This is a chance to work at the centre of our Digital Product Platform team, helping define how our future BEV vehicles detect faults, manage them safely and keep features available for customers in real world conditions. It is meaningful work that directly supports modern luxury, safety and the overall driving experience.

You will be responsible for designing the underlying health management strategies that ensure robust fault handling, graceful degradation and compliance with functional safety, cyber and legislative requirements. The role brings you into close collaboration with almost every engineering domain, from powertrain and chassis to body, ADAS, cockpit and offboard systems. It is a highly influential position that shapes how hardware and software behave across the full vehicle.

If you enjoy complex systems thinking, working across multiple domains and creating architectures that keep vehicles safe, predictable and intelligent, this role offers a rare opportunity to make a real impact. You will be working on cutting edge BEV platforms, contributing to the technical foundations that define how our vehicles operate, respond and protect the customer.

WHAT TO EXPECT

In this role, you’ll play a key part in delivering high-quality outcomes and supporting the wider team through a range of responsibilities, including –

• Cross functional problem solving engaging with engineering teams across the vehicle to resolve complex fault handling and degradation issues, ensuring the system behaves predictably in real world conditions
• Vehicle level robustness testing working closely with validation and verification teams to define and shape the tests that prove fault handling performance at full vehicle level
• Health management architecture leadership acting as the subject matter expert for system and software design, leading the definition of future health management strategies and supporting the development of next generation architectures
• Robustness and resilience design driving the creation of core design principles and delivering system and software requirements that define how faults are detected, monitored and managed across the hardware platform
• Integration and compliance oversight contributing to health management software architecture specifications, ensuring alignment with service and manufacturing standards, and reviewing and signing off system and software integration results at vehicle level

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

We’re looking for someone with the right blend of experience, qualifications, and practical skills, including –

• Systems engineering mindset using DFMEA to identify robustness gaps and resolve complex integration issues at vehicle level
• Good domain knowledge of Chassis, BEV powertrain and Body Systems and the system failure modes
• Good knowledge of Power electronics in BEV platforms

• AUTOSAR, QNX and knowledge with a solid understanding of fault handling implementations on OS & Middleware
• Ability to architect fault handling solutions for MCU safety manual related and hardware protection related requirements
• Diagnostics tool expertise using Vector CANape, Vector CANalyzer and Corvus to investigate vehicle level fault handling behaviour
• Structured problem solving applying 8D and similar methodologies to drive clear, evidence based resolutions
• Requirements capture with the ability to define stakeholder Health Management and Degradation requirements accurately and clearly
