At the Innovation & Engineering Hub, we develop bold, market-ready solutions that support Volkswagen Group and its leading brands. Together with TRATON Group’s Global R&D — home to brands like Scania, MAN, International, and Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus — we’re building the future of intelligent and sustainable transport. Global R&D focuses on: 

• • Alternative Drive Systems 

• • Digitalization 

• • Automated Driving 

• • Road Safety 

We’re not just manufacturing vehicles — we’re engineering the future of mobility.

To drive innovation and unlock the full potential of Software-Defined Vehicles, a User Experience Platform is essential for all TRATON brands. This platform serves as the backbone, weaving together multiple layers—from cloud based components to frontend components. The heart of this initiative lies in simplifying complexity. By offering seamless, standardized APIs and a suite of versatile services, features, and tools, the platform empowers each brand to focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional value to their customers and accelerating the launch of market-driven solutions. 

We are looking for enthusiastic and proactive people to be part of the team responsible for kicking off this journey to deliver a secure and stable platform for other applications, brand specific services and developers.
