Air brake systems and active safety tech for commercial trucks and buses
Bendix supplies braking, active safety, and energy-management systems to North American truck and bus fleets. The tech stack is industrial-grade—PLC controllers, Siemens and Allen-Bradley automation, MATLAB/Simulink for simulation, CAD suites (AutoCAD, NX, Pro/ENGINEER)—reflecting deep embedded-systems and mechanical-design work. Hiring skews toward manufacturing and ops roles, with active adoption of Kanban, suggesting process-improvement initiatives around production delivery and change management, which aligns with stated pain points in change delivery performance and equipment ergonomics.
