HATCI is the engineering and design backbone for Hyundai and KIA vehicles sold in North America, operating at 501–1,000 headcount with a 94% engineering-and-design concentration. The stack—CATIA, MATLAB, Simulink, LS-DYNA, Vector CANalyzer, and containerization tools (Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift)—reveals a dual operation: classical automotive simulation and CAD for hardware design, paired with modern DevOps infrastructure for software-defined vehicle systems. Active hiring is accelerating (99 roles in the last 30 days), skewed toward mid and senior engineers, signaling heavy intake on suspension, powertrain validation, and OTA update infrastructure.
HATCI designs, engineers, and validates all North American production and concept vehicles for Hyundai and KIA. The organization spans vehicle dynamics (suspension design for SUVs, trucks, and off-road platforms), exterior and powertrain systems, chassis controls, simulation, and durability testing. Current focus areas include reducing warranty costs and customer complaints, meeting U.S. emissions and safety regulations, and deploying OTA update validation pipelines. The team operates from Superior Township, Michigan, and hires engineers, designers, technicians, and modelers across the United States.
CATIA and Altair HyperWorks for CAD and simulation; MATLAB, Simulink, and LS-DYNA for vehicle dynamics; Vector CANalyzer, CANoe, and CANape for CAN bus diagnostics; Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift for software infrastructure; plus Git-based version control (GitLab, GitHub).
Active projects include suspension design for U.S. SUVs and trucks, OTA update validation, exterior design for concept and production vehicles, powertrain durability testing, chassis control system development, and emissions and energy efficiency simulation.
