Level 6 Digital and Technology Solutions Degree Apprenticeship – Software Engineering with Data
Role
Software Engineering pathway:
- Software is a key component of our future cars as the technology in vehicles continues to increase to meet customers’ evolving needs. Before the customer enters the car, technology identifies the key fob and their phone to recognise them and allow access; during their journey, software aids their driving with stability and assistance systems and provides a welcoming and refined user experience through in-vehicle infotainment. In short, software gives us our edge. It makes our thinking come alive in the real world. This pathway will show you how to design, build and test ground-breaking software that really delivers. You’ll also learn how to integrate engineering principles that deliver superior analysis, development and built-in security
Engineering Propulsion (EP)- Whitley, Gaydon.
- Our Propulsion Engineering team are leaders in the design, test, validation and certification of world-class propulsion systems aimed at delivering driving experiences that our customers will love for life. The scope of our propulsion systems is far-reaching and includes major commodity groups such as electric drive units, energy storage devices, engines, transmissions and drivelines, complemented by software system integration, calibration and control strategies
- The Propulsion software engineering and data teams are made up of a diverse set of skill sets ranging from control systems engineering, calibration engineering, integration engineering, data analytics and data science to project management. As such you will get the opportunity to work with and learn from a wide variety of perspectives, whilst developing skills related to using vehicle modelling, vehicle testing and simulation using tools such as Java, Phyton, C++ and Tableau to solve real-world engineering problems whilst focusing on developing data skills critical to our business
Training
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.

Year 1 - 2 - 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 to way to ensure you’re getting the support you need from your tutors and line manager.
Years 3 - 4 - In years 3 and 4 you will complete modules related to your chosen specialism - Software Engineering with Data. 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 taking on new responsibilities and making a meaningful impact within the business.
Throughout your apprenticeship you will work in our Engineering Propulsion (EP) team.
Upon completion of the apprenticeship, you will move into a substantive position within the business.
