JLR is harnessing technology to make driving smarter, safer and cleaner. You can help create a world in which responsible, sustainable vehicles revolutionise the driving experience for generations.

Our vision is to leverage the incredible potential of technology to build vehicles that not only offer a premium, all-encompassing digital experience, but that also make our customers lives better.


WHAT TO EXPECT
We are searching for a Product Owner to work within the Chassis CAE Tuning realm.

This Agile role is the Product Owner position within the Steering Development / Steering Performance team, that sits within the Steering, Wheels and Tyres function.

The squad members are highly specialised CAE specialists producing system-level analysis:

  • Virtual tuning to meet suspension Kinematics and Compliance (K&C) targets using muti-body dynamics software
  • Interpretation of physical K&C reports
  • Vehicle level simulation of suspension error states, e.g. pull/drift
  • Verifying and evolving the chassis content in virtual vehicles
  • Use of multibody simulation to support subgroups of Steering, Wheels and Tyres, e.g. steering gear operating loads prediction, tyre target setting


This requires a Product Owner who can guide and support the squad output whilst also translating the technical nature of their product into terms that the wider business can work with and appreciate.


Key Accountabilities and Responsibilities

  • Communicate the squad purpose and vision and align this with the priorities of the group
  • Create or support the creation of plans for Quarterly Business Reviews and individual sprints (using Jira)
  • Mediate the work requests that come in from neighbouring teams

Note:
this squad often provides MBD simulation services across multiple chassis squads

  • Set squad priorities and regulate squad member workload
  • Complete virtual and physical K&C signoff reporting to the agreed timeline
  • Ensure that component targets are cascaded by the solution architects in line with the process and to the agreed timeline
  • Identify and document blockers, risks and impediments. Resolve these where possible or facilitate resolution by the wider business, e.g. work with advanced manufacturing engineering

  • Experienced user of project management frameworks. Simultaneously able to define shortterm tasks whilst controlling longterm direction. Proactive in avoiding common project management pitfalls
