Thermal management and medical temperature control systems for automotive and healthcare
Gentherm manufactures heated, cooled, and ventilated seating systems, steering wheels, and thermal comfort products for global automakers, alongside medical patient temperature management devices. The tech stack spans automotive CAD (AutoCAD, CATIA, Solidworks, NX), embedded systems (CAN, AUTOSAR, C/C++), PLM (IBM DOORS, Polarion), and ERP (SAP), with recent adoption of RAG and MCP — early signals of AI-assisted design and process automation. Engineering dominates the hiring mix, concentrated in senior and mid-level roles, paired with active projects on product industrialization, lean continuous improvement, and zero-defects initiatives.
Gentherm is a public automotive supplier and medical device manufacturer with 10,000+ employees across 13 countries. The automotive business centers on thermal comfort: heated and cooled seating, steering wheels, cupholders, fans, and associated electronics and cables sold to tier-one OEM customers. A smaller medical division focuses on patient temperature management systems for acute care settings. Manufacturing is lean-driven with emphasis on quality (QCD objectives, defect reduction, OEE improvement) and cost control (scrap elimination, obsolescence avoidance). The company operates R&D, production, and customer service in close geographic proximity to major customers across North America, Europe, and Mexico.
