Automotive
In the automotive industry, innovation meets tradition. Hardly any other industry has experienced such a radical turnaround in recent years as the automotive industry. E-mobility, networking and digitalization are driving the automotive industry toward radical change – or rather, the industry is setting off into the digitalized world of the future.
Automotive manufacturers, suppliers and service providers have to face challenges and the opportunities to which they lead. They are large and varied. They are creating exciting new fields of work while modernizing traditional areas of industry. More than ever, the industry needs bright minds, technical experts and managers who can sharpen their focus on the future and drive innovative technologies.
E-mobility and digitalization in the automotive industry
Digitalization and sustainability play a central role in more than our modern everyday lives and current political developments. They are also two defining aspects for the expansion of many sectors of the economy. In Germany, this naturally includes the traditionally strong automotive industry.
One of the greatest challenges here is the conversion of automobile production to alternative forms of propulsion. For many decades, the German automotive industry has been world-renowned for its high level of expertise with regard to internal combustion engines. Therefore, it is all the more exciting to see how this expertise can be applied to the field of e-mobility. Alongside research into battery technology, new regulatory requirements and the full-coverage expansion of the charging infrastructure are also real drivers of innovation.
Digitalization has been on the advance in the automotive industry for some time now and is increasingly gaining momentum. This makes itself felt well before the connected car, before autonomous driving and before cars communicating with each other. Intelligent control units, on-board communication networks, embedded software and very simple voice control are already self-evident components of modern cars. They turn the car into a complex, software- and data-based device in a digitalized environment.
Our themes in the automotive sector
Today, these challenges and opportunities in the automotive sector require, above all, technical experts, visionaries and enablers – in all areas of the industry: from electrical engineering and mechanics to the commercial area. These experts are exactly what we are looking for in a variety of exciting work areas for our customers in the automotive industry.
Our technical experts in the field of electrical engineering are focusing more than ever on the development of a sophisticated overall system in the vehicle, which consists of various individual components that communicate with each other. The interaction between software and hardware development is an essential aspect.
Our experts in embedded software development and model-based software development are responsible for building a unique software architecture of highly complex applications that enable real-time interaction between individual control units(ECU) in the car. With the help of embedded software, a construct of intelligent individual components is created in the car (on-board electronics)that contribute to a new, modern and, above all, safe mobility experience. It makes innovations such as automatic emergency braking, cruise control, lane departure warning and adaptable headlights possible in the first place.

Battery management systems have played a major role in the automotive industry for many years. In the era of e-mobility, their relevance is constantly growing. The BMS monitors the condition of a battery and provides the necessary cell balancing. The latest research into the components, service life and disposal of batteries is also opening up more and more innovative fields of work in this area.
In addition, we offer expertise in lighting electronics –an area of ever-increasing complexity. Interior and exterior lighting electronics are driving the digitalization of the overall car system even further, enabling the expansion of control unit functionalities in the process. In this area, too, a modern, holistic approach is required.
We are looking for these experts in the mechanics field:
- Mechanical design

- Production planning and control
- Technical project management
- Technical purchasing and sales
Another lucrative business segment for the industry is the connectivity field. Intelligent assistance systems that can be connected to other devices create a pleasant driving experience for drivers. The connected car connects with the vehicles in the vicinity to ensure the safest and most efficient traffic flow. At the same time, digitalized vehicles offer numerous opportunities for infotainment, intelligent air conditioning and the integration of existing digital services such as music streaming.
The commercial area in the automotive industry is not unaffected by current developments. The industry transformations of digitalization and electrification naturally also entail the conversion of production processes. As part of this, innovative ideas need to be developed to safeguard supply chains. Just one of the many examples of the challenges also facing logistics and the supply chain and purchasing and sales in the automotive sector. In addition, new concepts are needed in marketing to publicize and market e-cars, new digital features, etc.
We are looking for these experts in the commercial area:
