Ingolstadt, Wolfsburg

Here at CARIAD we are facing increased innovative competition from new tech-savvy players in our industry. Mastering the paradigm shift to a customer-driven, software-first perspective has become a demanding challenge for many established automotive manufacturers. Shifting to a software-defined approach is a fundamental change away from predominantly engineering-minded environments.

In strategic foresight, Volkswagen has created a central software unit called CARIAD to provide a platform in this essential exercise across our brands.

While CARIAD also covers the software platform for all existing models in the market, the focus now is on creating a truly software-defined vehicle (SDV) unit - the CARIAD SDV Hub.

This hub, which is currently in its ramp-up phase, will support the development of new and mostly battery electric cars' software and hardware architectures in a confined, fast-growing environment.

For the core of the SDV Hub, we are looking to hire engineers and other technology professionals across all levels that are ready to rethink the way we do software for our future cars.

After a thorough analysis of both our current architectures and the best practices as displayed by some of our competitors in the market, we have identified broad strategic guidelines and a general direction for the SDV Hub.

The SDV Hub allows for complete conceptional freedom to fill this space with cutting-edge, innovative architectures that will be the foundation for all of our software products including a cross-organizational continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline combined with efficient processes, methods and tools.

The thorough integration of selected brand vehicles will ensure a complete end-to-end perspective. Thus, principles of modern software development will enable a new level of customer satisfaction in products to come.
