Lead Embedded Software Development & Integration Engineer - ADAS​/Connected Vehicles

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.

We’re on the lookout for a proven Lead Embedded Software Development & Integration Engineer (ADAS / Connected Vehicles) to join JLR at a pivotal time of transformation. This is an opportunity to be right at the centre of how next generation vehicles are brought to life, working on cutting edge software that underpins intelligent, connected and automated driving experiences. You’ll play a leading role in shaping how advanced features are delivered into the vehicle, contributing to products that define modern luxury and innovation.

Operating within the Assisted and Automated Driving domain, this role sits at the intersection of software, systems and real‑world vehicle behaviour. You’ll collaborate with global engineering teams and technology partners to integrate complex ADAS features at vehicle level, ensuring everything works seamlessly, safely and as intended in real driving conditions. It’s a hands‑on, technically rich environment where problem solving, integration expertise and a deep understanding of vehicle systems come to the fore.

This is a role for someone who enjoys seeing their work come to life, from software development and integration through to testing and validation on physical vehicles. You will be instrumental in ensuring that features are not only delivered, but delivered well, balancing quality, performance and customer experience. If you’re passionate about automotive technology and want to work at the sharp end of innovation, this is a brilliant opportunity to make a real impact.
