McLaren has flagged the Purchasing Manager - Powertrain Systems & Driveline job as unavailable. Let’s keep looking.

Background

No restraints. No limitations. We don’t simply push boundaries. We completely rethink them. McLaren Automotive exists to create breath-taking performance road cars.

With innovation at the core of all we do, every challenge starts with the same question. How can we do it better? This restless spirit runs right through McLaren Automotive. And the search for perfection is evident in everything we do.

Purpose of Role

Software Verification and Validation at McLaren Automotive plays a crucial role in the development of our high-performance vehicles. Software Testing is conducted in close collaboration with system engineers, in-house controls software developers, and vehicle development engineers, using hybrid Waterfall/Agile methodologies.

The broad technical scope ranges from traditional CAN EE Architecture to state-of-the-art Zonal EE Architecture with an Ethernet backbone and AUTOSAR software methodology and toolchain. Hardware-in-the-Loop and Test Automation techniques are applied to complex embedded systems, such as Hybrid Powertrain systems, Transmission and Chassis Control systems, HMI/UX, comfort and body systems, ADAS, and vehicle connectivity systems.

We are currently restructuring our team and have several positions open in various areas of expertise.
