“We seek to move projects to Romania and add 500 engineers to the local team. Recruitment will start as soon as possible,” said Catalin Stratulat, Delivery Head Romania, Product Engineering Services, Wipro Limited.

“Creating a new team to manage new projects is difficult, which is why we will only move ongoing projects here.”

Wipro has more than 1,200 employees serving more than 30 clients in various sectors in Europe such as retail and fast-moving consumer goods, medical, manufacturing and telecom industries.

Wipro has development centers in Bucharest and Timisoara. Considering the plan to boost its number of employees, it expanded the office space to more than 12,000 square meters in Bucharest and more than 3,000 square meters in Timisoara.

The new additions to the team will be working on in-car infotainment systems, interconnected cars and advanced driver assistance systems.
