There are hundreds of openings for electrification, self-driving, and machine learning jobs at JLR that could be filled by former Twitter and Meta employees.
f you've been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you may have missed Elon Musk's Twitter takeover and subsequent jettisoning of hundreds of employees. It wasn't just Musk's new Twitter, though. There were big layoffs at Amazon and Meta, too. Thankfully for those employees, though, a new home might soon be available, as Jaguar Land Rover is looking to scoop up many of the software engineers let go by those aforementioned companies.
According to a Reuters, Jaguar Land Rover is looking to fill nearly 800 jobs in England, Ireland, the U.S., China, India, and Hungary. As JLR is looking to become an EV-focused brand by 2025, it's looking for talented people to help develop electrification and self-driving tech, as well as machine learning and data science. Most of the jobs will be in England, split between the Gaydon and Manchester facilities.
Jaguar Land Rover Chief Information Officer told Reuters that these job vacancies have existed for awhile but were hard to fill, due to the competitive nature of the industry in those fields. So when hundreds and hundreds of talented software engineers get fired or laid off by some of the biggest tech companies in the world, JLR sees an opportunity to fill its vacancies.
While Jaguar Land Rover as a whole won't entirely become an electric brand by 2025, Jaguar itself wants to be an all-electric brand by 2024. At the moment, Jaguar is a very long way off of brands like Tesla, Lucid, Ford, Cadillac, Mercedes, and BMW, in terms of electric tech, range, and efficiency. If it wants to truly become a world-class competitor by 2025, it's going to need some improvements in its range and both battery and thermal management software. And with hundreds of qualified employees suddenly being thrust into the marketplace, it looks like Jaguar will be able to get all the help it needs.
I owned a Triumph so I know what an oil leak looks like, but what would a data leak look like, coming from a vehicle?
I can’t say anyone from Meta would be any better. They were labeled worthless of the worthlesser. There might be a few Twitterites that are worth a grain of salt.
You should anyways. Theyre literal shit already. Among the most overpriced , underwhelming vehicles ever made
Ha! My sister had a brand new Land Rover — a POS that she couldn’t wait to dump. Sounds like this might be a match made in Heaven.
I’d still like to have my leaky Triumph over most of the boring automobiles on the market today.
Check Engine Light and Limp Mode
Most of the Rovers if not all are made in China now.
I’ll admit I bought a Fiat, but only because most of it was made in Japan, and was more stylish than its Japanese counterpart.
Not as confused as the wokxecutives at Jaguar/Land Rover.
I believe that! China. Pfffft!
Jaguar Land Rover Wants to Hire Laid-Off Twitter and Meta Employees!
Sounds like a match made in liberal heaven for both sides.
Just do it! Make it happen!
Yeah, I think that’s the older stuff.
Probably for the last decade, they’ve really turned the corner.
Nothing quite like a 518hp V8 in a middle-sized SUV. I’ve smoked all four tires punching the fuel when passing an RV on the highway.
I will say the tires are darn expensive. Lot of rubber. Easy $1500 for a set of four.
I don’t think this company has actually interviewed anyone let alone offered a real job. Nice bit of stupid publicity, but I’d like to see the hire/employment rate 6 months out. If it amounts to une person outside of event planning/or I’d be shocked.
My neighbor has one of those ‘Bigfoot’ type pick-ups trucks you need a ladder to get in.
I think he pays like $1500 for one tire!...........
You can hire the employees. There is just no guarantee they are workers.
Lol. Those lazy asses from Twitter? Good luck with that.
And what is Lucid? They don’t seem to be on par with those other companies.
I’ve heard this before, they’re all fungable.
They’re owned by Tata Motors, an Indian company. Speaks volumes.
Ouch. And for a rough ride, too.
Be fun for a holiday, though.
He’s always going out and ‘muddin’...................
