Gates manufactures application-specific fluid power and power transmission components—belts, hoses, hydraulic assemblies—sold through OEM and aftermarket channels globally. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward manufacturing execution (PLC, CMMS, Siemens) and enterprise data (Oracle ERP, SQL Server analytics suite), with embedded systems (STM32, NXP, TI C2000, RTOS) supporting connected product development. Active hiring spans sales, engineering, and manufacturing in equal measure across 16+ countries, while projects cluster around new product development, market expansion (notably data center cooling), and go-to-market execution—signaling a company investing in innovation and geographic scale rather than cost-cutting alone.
