Thermal and Aerodynamics Engineer

Job description

Salary: £36,300 - 45,100

End Date: 16/07/2018

 

Earlier this year, Jaguar Land Rover announced a long-term strategic partnership with Waymo, formerly Google’s self-driving car project. The Jaguar I-PACE is at the heart of this partnership, with both companies working together to develop the world’s first premium self-driving electric vehicle, set to join Waymo’s driverless transportation service. Up to 20,000 vehicles will be part of the Waymo driverless fleet in the US by 2020. This long-term strategic collaboration will further Waymo and Jaguar Land Rover’s shared goals: to make cars safer, free up people’s valuable time and improve mobility for everyone.

 

Our Thermal and Aerodynamic Systems Engineering (TASE) attribute delivers the thermal, aerodynamic, aeroacoustic, and water and dirt management requirements that help all of our vehicles to both perform on the road and provide a comfortable experience for our customers. Using cutting edge technology and a bold, future-facing approach, this highly technical team is all about exceeding our customers’ expectations and taking our vehicle designs and capabilities to the next level.

 

WHAT TO EXPECT

 

Joining our Engineering function as an Thermal and Aerodynamics Engineer, you’ll be providing thermal and aerodynamics simulation and wind tunnel test support for a new product that is currently in development. Working closely with Technical Specialists, Programme Attribute Team Leaders and Engineers, you’ll identify, validate, and execute opportunities for performance improvement for our vehicles from aerodynamic, aeroacoustics, surface water management, and soiling performance improvement perspectives. Using a methodical and organised approach, you’ll recognise and deliver these improvements through strategy, delivery, and launch phases.

 

You’ll be:

 

·  Driving Thermal and Aero performance improvement
·  Facilitating and supporting virtual and physical testing
·  Developing and leading test plans

 

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

 

Using experienced gained during degree studies in mathematics, engineering, or physics, and in a similar previous role (or roles), you’ll be used to setting up, running, and interpreting wind tunnel physical test results and Computational Fluid Dynamics analyses. You’ll be a great presenter, and capable of communicating results and recommendations for programme and process improvement.

 

You’ll be able to work across both the Thermal and Aerodynamic Systems Engineering attribute and the wider engineering function, searching for unique and innovative solutions that are focused on improving our vehicles’ performance.

 

You’ll back up your career experience with passion for potential automotive technology, and the ability to build relationships and deliver results in a demanding engineering environment.

 

BENEFITS

 

Bring all this to the home of premium innovation, and you’ll find the opportunities to further your career with a world-class team, a discounted car purchase and lease scheme for you and your family, membership of a competitive pension plan and performance related bonus scheme. All this and more makes Jaguar Land Rover the perfect place to continue your journey.
