We are an automotive recruitment agency. We place embedded, ADAS, functional safety and connected-car engineers with OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers and mobility platforms. Tell us which programme needs people.
Why automotive hiring is different
Automotive software carries consequences that most software does not. Code ships into hardware that stays on the road for a decade or more, cannot be casually hot-fixed, and in many cases has to satisfy a safety argument before it is allowed to move at all.
That produces a genuinely different engineer. Functional safety under ISO 26262, AUTOSAR architectures, real-time constraints, vehicle networks such as CAN, LIN and Automotive Ethernet, and hardware-in-the-loop validation are learned inside the industry. General embedded experience helps, but it is not a substitute.
