Power Electronics Engineer

Electronics is the driving force behind most of the innovations in modern vehicles, with electronic parts in most, if not all, active components of our products. As an Electrical and Electronics Engineer, you will learn a variety of valuable skills including electronic circuit design, power electronics, embedded safety critical system design, programming and more.

During your apprenticeship, you'll gain valuable hands‑on experience and career‑building skills while working at the forefront of the automotive industry. This exciting programme is designed to help you build practical skills, deepen your foundational knowledge, and develop essential business behaviours such as teamwork and problem‑solving. And you'll be supported by a JLR early careers cohort leader, the university team, and your line manager every step of the way.

You’ll achieve a BEng (Hons) in Applied Professional Engineering developed in conjunction with the University of Warwick. For more details on the degree course, please visit:
Applied Professional Engineering

This programme is delivered through a combination of online study, face‑to‑face lectures, independent learning each week. This gives you the chance to apply your learning from University of Warwick to projects in a real‑world environment. You'll study a range of modules designed to build your essential knowledge, skills and behaviours, with regular process reviews along the way to ensure you're getting the support you need from your tutors and line manager.

In years 3 and 4 you will complete modules related to your chosen specialism – Electrical and Electronic Technical Support. In your final year, you’ll complete a work‑based project as part of your End Point Assessment (EPA). This is an opportunity for you to use the skills and experience you gained throughout your time on the programme and apply them directly to your role.

And when you’ve successfully completed your EPA, you’ll achieve your Level 6 Apprenticeship and take on new responsibilities and make a meaningful impact within the business.

Throughout your apprenticeship you will be based in Engineering Operations (EO)

Engineering Operations (EO) are at the heart of JLR Engineering. Involved at every stage of the engineering process, they underpin technical innovation and product delivery with programme management, tools and processes and specialist technical services to deliver our world‑class products. A diverse team, Engineering Operations harness a variety of skill sets, from project management, information management and data analytics, to building and testing prototypes.

By joining Engineering Operations, you will make a difference to what we do.

You could find yourself working with teams such as our Operations, Prototype Operations, Electrical and Software, Prototype Battery Build or Test Operations team. This may include building and maintaining Labcars and facilitating testing by numerous engineering teams or delivering operational Labcars. You’ll get involved with learning how to develop and implement Electro‑Mechanical Test Bench‑on‑Hardware in Loop (HIL) solutions via rest‑bus simulation and controls deployment, for robotic test rig and vehicle testing platforms or learning about the end‑of‑line testing (EOLT) and battery teardown activities.

As an apprentice within Engineering Operations, you could join one of us in one of the following roles:
