Rail HVAC systems manufacturer scaling software and cybersecurity operations
Merak manufactures HVAC systems for rail vehicles across a global footprint, with engineering-heavy hiring concentrated in Spain and Poland. The tech stack—Windchill, C/C++, Python, LabVIEW, SAP—reflects a hardware-software hybrid operation typical of automotive/rail suppliers. Active projects signal a shift toward tighter software governance: cybersecurity strategy localization, incident management standardization, and system certification testing suggest the company is moving from product-focused engineering toward compliance and operational maturity.
