ADAS SW Technical Lead (PLATFORM ARCHITECTURE)

Brief Description about the JLR ADAS:

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is developing state-of-the-art automated driving systems for worldwide deployment. As part of JLR ADAS team your task will be to support the development of the future ADAS system generation, which will see our vehicle progressing to full autonomous driving, referred to as an L4+ autonomous driving system, by 2030.

In order to fulfil this vision, JLR is working on specific software functionalities developments that aim to build in house software modules in order to maximize components reusability and robustness in the future landscape of autonomous driving.

Role as a Tech Lead

• Lead technical delivery across multiple subsystems, ensuring adherence to timelines, quality standards, and scope.
• Act as the primary liaison between engineering teams, product owners, and stakeholders to maintain alignment.
• Provide architectural guidance and enforce best practices in software development.
• Review technical designs, code quality, and integration strategies to ensure robustness and scalability.
• Identify and mitigate technical risks early in the development cycle.
• Own end-to-end feature delivery, including integration, and proactively coordinate with cross-functional teams to resolve blockers.
• Track and report quality metrics to management, driving continuous improvement initiatives to enhance customer satisfaction.

Key Responsibilities

• Understand OS architecture and automotive middleware design (preferably for ADAS systems).
• Collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary teams and undertake diverse technical tasks.
• Mentor junior software engineers and communicate findings through clear presentations and reports.
• Ensure software lifecycle integrity by applying standards such as IEEE 1012, ISO26262, and ISO/IEC 12207.
• Drive intelligent software design and development to minimize rework and optimize embedded software stacks.
• Apply high-level architectural and low-level design patterns to solve complex software problems.
• Utilize design modelling tools (e.g., MSOSA) to create robust software architectures and ensure subsystem collaboration.
• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins, Git, and JIRA.
• Coordinate with global teams to deliver end-to-end architectural solutions.
• Contribute to product roadmap development and future forecasting.
• Liaise with wider JLR teams to align platform architecture with organizational goals.

Key Performance Indicators

• Compliance with industry standards (ISO26262, ASPICE, IEEE 1012) in all design and development phases.
• Successful ownership and delivery of ADAS platform features from concept to production.
• Timely integration of middleware and platform services across ECUs.
• Effective collaboration with system architects, hardware teams, and domain experts.
• Continuous improvement in CI/CD pipeline efficiency and software delivery timelines.
• Quality metrics adherence (e.g., maintainability, scalability, and security of codebase).
• Achievement of defined Key Performance Software Indices (KPIs).
