Engineering services across automotive, aerospace, and industrial electronics
ALTEN Germany operates as the German subsidiary of a 58,000-person European engineering services firm, delivering full-cycle R&D and IT projects for tier-1 automotive, aerospace, semiconductor, and energy clients. The stack reflects a heavy embedded and industrial focus: Creo, Siemens NX, dSPACE, RTOS, Qt, and C++ dominate, paired with Microsoft enterprise tools (Power Platform, Dynamics 365, Azure DevOps). Active adoption of GitHub Copilot, Trino, and 3DEXPERIENCE alongside migration away from GCP signals a shift toward AI-assisted development and deeper Siemens PLM integration—moves that align with their 1,051-engineer hiring base and project portfolio centered on HVDC systems, FPGA software, secure communications, and aerospace production optimization.
Notable leadership hires: Project Lead Vehicle Tech, Head of HR, Electrical Project Lead, Tech Lead / Software Architect
ALTEN Germany is a 2,213-person engineering and IT services firm headquartered in Munich, operating 12 German and Austrian locations. Part of the publicly listed French ALTEN Group, the company provides end-to-end product development services—from concept through production-ready delivery—for Fortune 500 customers in automotive, aerospace, energy, semiconductors, medical devices, and telecom. Core competencies span embedded systems, mechanical CAD/PLM, systems integration, and digital transformation. The engineering-heavy organizational structure and active recruitment in mid- and senior-level roles reflect client demand for complex, regulated industrial projects where compliance (export control, aviation standards) and process optimization are critical success factors.
Primary tools: Creo, Siemens NX, Windchill, C++, Python, Qt, dSPACE, RTOS, and Linux for embedded work; Microsoft Power Platform, Dynamics 365, Azure DevOps, and SharePoint for enterprise; Docker, Ansible, Jenkins, Git for CI/CD. Actively adopting GitHub Copilot, Trino, and 3DEXPERIENCE; migrating from GCP.
Current focus includes HVDC systems, FPGA software development, secure radio communication, production process optimization, test automation, HR digitalization across Europe, aerospace production scaling, and plant systems deployment. Pain points center on export control compliance, aviation quality standards, cost reduction, and material flow efficiency.
