Subject Matter Expert - Weights Advanced Propulsion

About the job

WHAT TO EXPECT

 Are you an engineering related subject matter expect (SME) who has a broad understanding of how vehicle weight affects other driven attributes of the vehicle along with a strategic mindset?  If so, we have just the opportunity for you.

 This SME – Weights Propulsion will give you the opportunity to exercise your strategic mindset by playing a key role in mapping, forecasting, and influencing Jaguar Land Rovers strategy roadmap to ensure weight optimised, vehicle efficient solutions are championed onto new and existing vehicles, with a focus on Weights Propulsion commodities.   

 In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to align weight benchmarking and futuring assumptions at vehicle, CoC and commodity level. In addition, you’ll get to oversee competitor intelligence and futuring activities in support of target setting across all new vehicle programmes and architectures. 

 This is a great opportunity to have involvement in the creation and delivery of technology roadmaps to close weight gaps and help grow JLR’s understanding of key enablers for weight reduction across commodities and attributes, focussing on standards and requirements which currently drive extraneous mass into our vehicles.  

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

 This isn’t a role that will suit someone who’s used to being operational only as having a strategic mindset in support of reviewing our Commodity Strategy Review process and continued improvement to the technology, industry and global trends into the weight futuring process strategies is key.

In addition, we are looking for those who have analytical skills (the ability to conduct complex research into innovative technologies and manufacturing systems and tools to deliver weight efficient design solutions).

 You’ll also come to the role with the ability to effectively explain complex ideas, confidently presenting these to senior stakeholders.

 Degree or relevant equivalent experience preferred.
