Jaguar's reputation for performance, technology and design was forged within the world's most challenging circuits and championships. Our partners all work at the cutting-edge of technology and share an understanding that progress, courage and innovation enable us to achieve our on-track goals.
We design, develop & manufacture the Jaguar Formula E racing car and run it in the FIA Formula E World Championship. We were world champions in 2024, and this was only possible due to the knowledge, talent and commitment of our people.
We operate a 12-month (September August 2027) student placement programme within our Formula E Car Development (Software) group. This is an exciting opportunity to work alongside highly skilled and experienced engineering professionals and graduates, offering plenty of scope to learn and develop - the more questions you ask the more you will gain from your experience. It is important to know that many of our industrial placements have been successful in obtaining graduate roles on completion of their degree.
To be eligible for an industrial placement within our Formula E Car Development (Software) group you should be working towards a degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science or a related area.
During the placement you will take on responsibilities such as:
* Working as an integral part of the Car Development team.
* Developing a new generation of software tools, APIs, and packages using the modern .NET stack (C# - candidates do not need prior experience with the language but should be confident programmers who understand core principles and are eager to learn) and cloud technologies such as containerisation (Docker). This will support the standardisation and automation of our applications including:
* trackside car ECU monitoring/configuration and sensor calibration
* trackside data processing
* cloud-based technical document management
* cloud-based event management
* component lifing support
* Supporting the development and maintenance of databases in SQL and NoSQL.
* Writing unit and integration tests to improve code quality.
Our goal is to reduce the time it takes for engineers to make valuable performance decisions over a race weekend.
All applications should be submitted via the advert on the Jaguar TCS Racing LinkedIn page.
