Jaguar Land Rover is expanding its global digital capability by opening three new tech hubs in Europe, creating nearly 100 new engineering jobs.
The hubs are set up to develop autonomous driving systems for Jaguar Land Rover’s next generation of modern luxury vehicles, and come in addition to the six existing global tech hubs Jaguar Land Rover has invested in.
The new hubs are situated in Munich Germany, Bologna Italy, and Madrid Spain, with the locations chosen because of the availability of digital engineering skills in the area.
Munich is one of Europe’s top-ranking
technology hubs, while the sites in Spain and Italy have also been
identified as significant and growing tech hub locations in Europe.
The
new hubs’ inception comes in addition to existing Jaguar Land Rover
tech hubs in Portland USA, Budapest Hungary, Shannon Ireland, Shanghai
China, Bengaluru India and Manchester in the UK. Collectively these hubs
employ over 1,100 engineers, forming part of Jaguar Land Rover’s nearly
9,000 strong global engineering force.
Together Jaguar Land
Rover’s nine global engineering hubs will provide services and feed data
into the Advanced Product Creation Centre in Gaydon, UK, to create
Jaguar Land Rover’s next generation vehicles that epitomise modern
luxury and deliver a fully connected experience for customer.
The
creation of the three new tech hubs marks the progression of Jaguar
Land Rover’s multi-year partnership with NVIDIA, the leader in
artificial intelligence (AI) and computing. Under the partnership,
Jaguar Land Rover engineers are working to develop and deliver
next-generation automated driving systems, digital services, and
experiences for clients.
Teams based at the new tech hubs have
expertise spanning areas of autonomous technology including systems
& features, software, verification & validation and hardware.
