Electrical and electronics engineering and digital services

Our embedded software and hardware engineering services represents our largest engineering, research and development organization with over 3,500 engineers globally and capabilities that cover the key services that design, implement and test E/E systems.

Connected mobility solutions

We are delivering vehicle to cloud connectivity services that provide a foundation for many new use cases enabled by the vehicle as a data enter or “smartphone on wheels”. This includes downloading new functions via OTA and uploading sensor data to create better user experiences and new business models.

Autonomous mobility solutions

Our system engineering services for autonomous mobility has enabled functional development and algorithm validation. We developed our ADAS V&V managed services consisting of over 60 vehicles operating in over 45 countries to collect up to 20 terabytes per car per day for algorithm validation and tuning leveraging our SiL and HiL automation frameworks.

Sustainable mobility and EV powertrain

We have worked on EV powertrains for over a decade in Europe, enabling large OEMs to design, implement, and validate. Our systems engineers perform vehicle mission-profile analyses and leverage our simulation tool to evaluate different architectures. The analysis, development, testing, and homologation activities of EVs are where R&D teams often find themselves searching for additional skills when simultaneously working on conventional and EV drive trains. Our teams can help GM with activities related to accelerating time to market..

Complete vehicle development

For our partner PSA, we developed a complete near-shore facility to develop a complete vehicle from bumper to bumper. This included our advanced industrial design methods and our design innovation center, body-in-white implementation and vehicle design and development including interior, seating and chassis.

Advanced manufacturing

Our Advanced Manufacturing World Class Center has established innovative processes for agile, lead, and Industry 4.0 manufacturing technologies and processes across multiple industries. We leverage this know-how to create best practices for leading auto manufacturers using IoT, 5G, and AR/VR technologies, along with our advanced AI, machine learning and analytics, and our OT-to-IT digital transformation processes.
