This approach is part of the company’s strategy to strengthen its presence locally, and in 2023 Porsche Engineering aims to expand its local team with over 100 new colleagues, of whom approximately 50 developers and software engineers will be employed in Timisoara.
“By opening the office in Timișoara, we are taking an important step in the process of consolidating the presence of Porsche Engineering in Romania. We want to continue the story of success in developing software for the smart and connected vehicles of the future in this innovation-driven environment – working together with bright minds and local talent. As with our first Romanian location in Cluj-Napoca, we want to accelerate innovation in the field of software development for the automotive industry, and at the same time cultivate relationships with our partners and the entire community,” said Dirk Lappe, CTO of the international Porsche Engineering group and Chairman of the Shareholders’ Committee for the branch in Romania.
“The company aims to further contribute to the development of the local software industry for the automotive segment, to prepare the current and future generation of talents in the field of technology, but also to play a role in the development of society. Social activities involving the company’s employees, as well as volunteer work in the community, are key elements of Porsche Engineering’s culture,” said Marius Mihailovici, Managing Director of Porsche Engineering in Romania.
In 2023, Porsche Engineering Romania aims to recruit over 100 people at its two locations in Cluj-Napoca and Timisoara, who have skills in areas such as AI, Big Data, Cloud, Infotainment, ADAS, Connectivity, but also in other segments of the automotive IT sphere that will support the development of smart and connected vehicles of the future.
