Banking on a future of autonomous technology, Jaguar Land Rover has opened three new tech hubs in Europe, creating a hundred new tech jobs.
The new hubs are in Munich, Germany; Bologna, Italy; and Madrid, Spain. These are three places that JLR identified as growing tech hubs; Munich is already one of Europe’s top tech hubs, and Bologna and Madrid are up-and-comers.
These hubs will add to JLR’s tech hubs in Portland Oregon, Budapest Hungary, Shannon Ireland, Shanghai China, Bengaluru India, and Manchester England. Out of the company’s 9000 engineers, 1100 work at these six hubs.
The hubs will feed data and services to JLR’s headquarters in Gaydon England, at the Advanced Product Creation Centre. This is where autonomous development is all happening, with the goal of furthering the Destination Zero mission: Zero Emissions, Zero Accidents and Zero Congestion.
The new hubs are part of JLR’s new partnership with NVIDIA, the computing and AI leader. Future JLR vehicles will use NVIDIA-developed digital infrastructure, controlling things from powertrain management to autonomous and safety features.
All of the new jobs will be hybrid positions, as part of the new “way of working” post-Covid.
