My guess is that it will.

Does your team have access to an oscilloscope? If you want to be on the safe side, you can measure the voltage waveform (and magnitude) on the signal line in your PWM cable. It can give you some assurance that you've got adequate operating margin.

FWIW, I just found this note in the spec for the H11L1M optocoupler used in the Jaguar.
