SENIOR SYSTEM ARCHITECT - VEHICLE PLATFORM HEALTH MANAGEMENT

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.
• Functional safety capability across automotive hardware and software, including safety design controls and degradation behaviours.
• Architecture definition and design using Visio, MATLAB Simulink and Catia Magic MSOSA, implementing diagnostics control strategies for AUTOSAR compliant ECUs within an agile lifecycle aligned to JLR CS QMS and ISO 26262.
• AUTOSAR, QNX and knowledge with a solid understanding of fault handling implementations on OS.

We work hard to nurture a culture that is inclusive and welcoming to all. We understand candidates may require reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process. Please discuss these with your recruiter so we can accommodate your needs. Applicants from all backgrounds are welcome. If you’re unsure that you meet the full criteria of a role – but you're interested in where it could take you – we still encourage you to apply. We believe in people's ability to grow and develop within their role – it’s what makes living the exceptional with soul possible. JLR is committed to equal opportunity for all.
