About JLR:

Innovative. Trusted. Pioneering. These three qualities have always summed up Jaguar Land Rover. They have been encapsulated within the performance, luxury and excellence of all our products. They are what every person working for us lives and breathes. From creating intelligent hybrids to building driverless vehicles, evolving existing technologies to discovering new energy storage,our ambition for the future of our vehicles and the industry beyond is endless.

Role Profile

The Electrification Core engineering team requires experienced E-machine engineer to apply world class design and analysis skills to improve Jaguar Land Rover'scapability to deliver the next generation e-Machines. The objective is to deliver levels of reliability and robustness into the Electric Drive Units (EDU), exceeding anything that we have seen before by using the latest tools and best practice Engineering Techniques.

Key Responsibilities:

Produce design models (component and assembly), detail designs, manufacturing specifications and operational documentation for mechanical solutions in relation to defined requirements.

To facilitate the component and assembly level design working from the technical briefs provided by program team and subject matter experts.

To produce calculations and apply engineering methods, tools and processes to support design process

To support the development of the production department through the generation of technical build manuals for each of our standard machines

Support research into machines and associated systems to push relevant technology beyond state of the art.

Work with e-Mag, structural FEA and Thermal CFD engineers to create motor design drawings and release to manufacturing.

Willing to perform basic structural / thermal analysis of e- Machines from high level prototype to mass production for e-mobility platforms.

Validates the design of new products or product enhancements by completing various analyses such as DFMEA, Design for Assembly/ Manufacturing studies.

Support e-drive manufacturing development including material sourcing, supplier engagement and assembly process development.

Evaluate design trade-offs of design choices (alternate material, tolerance specification etc.)

Skills, experience and qualifications

Essential:

Master’s in mechanical engineering specialization.

Minimum 7 years of industrial experience in the motor-generator technologies and the drivetrain architectures including efficiencies, durability, manufacturing concepts and control strategies.

Experience of project engineering with Tier 1 suppliers, preparation of project documentation and reports. Risk management, mitigation, and recovery planning.

Must have a working knowledge in most electric drive unit and power electronics including electric machines, inverters, converters and chargers.

Experience of system/component delivery within an APQP, six sigma or similar framework (FMEA, DVP, quality planning, PPAP etc.) and full product lifecycle activities.

Fundamental understanding of structural and durability simulation methods.

Fundamental understanding of fluid flow and thermal simulation methods.
