SHANNON, IRELAND
Located in the heart of Ireland’s innovation corridor, JLR's 55,000 sq ft R&D Software Development campus in Shannon (Ireland) is at the heart of a vibrant tech eco-system. It’s a global centre of excellence that’s well-connected to our operations in the UK and around the world and is leading the charge in software development for next generation electrical vehicle architectures.
The 400-strong team plays a pivotal role in delivering end-to-end capabilities for both embedded and off-board software development, testing, DevSecOps (Development, Security & Operations), Functional Safety (FuSA) and Cybersecurity. Developing essential software behind key vehicle systems, from the cockpit and body controls to advanced driving features, ensures safety, performance, and reliability across over 20 control units.
MANCHESTER, UK
Our high-tech Software Development Centre in Manchester is working alongside and in collaboration with our Gaydon Pioneering Hub to integrate connected technologies in our next generation vehicles to create premium, in car experiences.
HUNGARY, BUDAPEST
JLR Hungary operates from a modern 6,000‑square‑meter engineering centre on two floors in downtown Budapest, home to three laboratories and around 400 employees. From this location, teams contribute directly to JLR’s vehicle programmes from early concept stages through validation and delivery.
Vehicle Platform
Mechanical Engineering in Budapest is responsible for the full development of exterior and interior components, closely integrating design, supplier engagement, and plant support. Alongside this, the Vehicle Platform organisation hosts its leading model‑based system engineering capability in Hungary, defining and developing features that span energy and charging functions, safety systems, and comfort technologies. Complementing this is the Motion Information team, which carries end‑to‑end responsibility for motion‑related functions, ensuring precise vehicle motion estimation from concept to production.
Digital Platform
Digital Platform in Hungary is strongly hardware‑focused and covers several core onboard technologies. The antenna team provides technical leadership for antenna development, while Connectivity delivers and validates eCall and bCall emergency calling systems. The EDS group owns 2D wiring design and brings deep 3D and manufacturing‑based expertise, ensuring robust and buildable harness solutions. Audio engineering leads advanced auralisation simulation, virtual tuning, and mitigation of audio‑induced NVH. One of the largest areas, ADAS, performs extensive feature validation, regularly uses the local proving ground, and operates locally built hardware‑in‑the‑loop rigs for high‑fidelity system testing.
Engineering Operations
A small but influential Engineering Operations team rounds out the site, driving battery passport development, platform commonality, and the digitalisation and connection of engineering processes across the enterprise well integrated with the UK operations.
PORTLAND, US
JLR’s Portland technology hub plays a key role in shaping the digital future of our products. Established in 2014 near major West Coast tech partners including Amazon, NVIDIA, Apple, and Google the site inaugurated a new, 50,000-square-foot facility in 2024. Portland leads delivery of major digital capabilities in vehicle cockpit, connectivity, assisted and autonomous driving, electric charging, and mobile and connected devices. The team also leads the adoption of new technology and development methodology, including DevOps and DesignOps practices.
As JLR’s North American Product Engineering hub, the Portland site also supports teams across the United States to deliver new technologies, partner with closely with our the Commercial arm of our business to support our customers, and ensure our products meet quality and regulatory requirements for the business.
SHANGHAI, CHINA
In China, JLR’s identity and spirit are carried forward by a dedicated team focused on innovation and integration. With a strong understanding of the local market and access to global technical expertise, the Product Engineering team works collaboratively to develop advanced technologies and ensure smooth system integration, contributing to vehicles that deliver a refined driving experience for customers around the world.
China’s contribution is made possible through teamwork across the JLR global network, by sharing knowledge and working together. The China team strengthens JLR’s engineering capability and drives innovation across borders. Situated in one of the most dynamic automotive markets, the China team ensures our products remain competitive, relevant and future-ready.
FOCUS ON ... ROVER
JLR’s EV build and test facility in Coventry – which plays a crucial role in the luxury vehicle manufacturer’s plan to electrify all of its brands by 2030 – has added an unlikely colleague to its list of new recruits, in the form of a four‑legged robotic dog dubbed ‘Rover’.
Fully automated to follow a range of pre‑set routes, Rover conducts up to 24 patrols each day and night, using AI to physically open doors, ascend stairs and navigate high‑traffic areas with diligence. Continuously taking measurements and inspecting valves and machinery, Rover eliminates the risk of human error in these tasks, while allowing engineers to better spend their time analysing Rover’s results to make more insightful business and maintenance predictions or to perform repairs.
