AAD System Lead Engineer

The Opportunity 

The role will be based within the Electrical & Vehicle Engineering (EVE) Centre Of Competence, and part of attribute 

team based within the Assisted & Automated Driving (AAD) Feature and System Team. 

The Features and system team is an exciting area, designing and delivering new AAD features through definition of the 

customer experiences, design of the system and validation and confirmation the design meets the customer intent. 

This technical role is responsible to lead the definition, development and delivery of harmonized systems solutions, 

consisting of multiple interconnected components into Jaguar Land Rover vehicles for ADAS features. 

The role includes the opportunity to design and define the way in which Assisted and Automated Driving Features can 

support our customers in their every day journeys, through a combination of driving aids, driving assistance and driving 

automation. The role will require a customer focussed individual who can provide objective analysis of the user 

behaviour to support the definition of functional and perofmance related requirements associated with the features.
