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 Control Systems group. This is an exciting opportunity where you will work with highly skilled and experienced engineering professionals and graduates who you can learn and develop with - 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 Control Systems group you should be working towards a degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Automotive, Electronics, Mechatronics, Software or Motor Sport Engineering. An understanding of vehicle dynamics would be advantageous.

* Testing of our hardware and control modules across a variety of test facilities.
