About The Position

Product Development uses design thinking & user experience methods to deliver breakthrough products and services that delight our customers. We bring innovative, exciting, and sustainable ideas to life. We have opportunities around the world for you to contribute to advancements in autonomy, electrification, smart mobility technologies, and more! Our section builds and maintains the software that powertrain calibration and emissions engineers rely on every day. Our portfolio is broad and spans the full stack: Desktop applications — data upload/management tools, calibration utilities, and instrument-connected apps (C#/.NET, WinForms/DevExpress). Engineering analysis tools — MATLAB toolboxes and Python analytics for measurement data, emissions eKPIs, and calibration-parameter analysis. Web applications — calibration-tracking and dashboard apps (Java/Spring Boot backends, JavaScript/TypeScript frontends) deployed to the cloud (GCP/Cloud Run) via modern CI/CD pipelines. Data & integration services — REST/web services, upload and import pipelines, MongoDB/BigQuery data access, and MCP servers that expose our tooling and data to modern AI-assisted workflows. Cloud & DevOps — Terraform-based infrastructure, containerized deployments, pipeline migrations, and TLS/cert and security-compliance work. We support a large user base of calibration engineers, and our tools directly enable vehicle testing, emissions compliance, and calibration delivery.
