Automotive testing, telecom network solutions, and IIoT platforms
MicroNova is a German software and systems company serving automotive OEMs, telecom operators, and industrial manufacturers with testing automation, network management, and IIoT solutions. The tech stack reflects dual engineering tracks: automotive-domain tools (MATLAB, Simulink, CAN, FlexRay, hardware-in-the-loop systems) alongside enterprise infrastructure (PostgreSQL, Oracle, Kubernetes, Java/Quarkus). Active hiring is concentrated in engineering roles, while project and pain-point data reveal scaling pressures in partner channel operations and database optimization for 5G—suggesting a shift toward managed services and partner-led growth.
MicroNova, founded in 1987 and headquartered in Vierkirchen near Munich, operates across three primary business units: hardware-in-the-loop test automation and consulting for automotive electronics; network planning and radio-access-network optimization for mobile operators; and IIoT systems with specialized expertise in functional safety, cybersecurity, and AI. The company employs approximately 400 experts across nine locations in Germany and the Czech Republic. Revenue comes from software licensing (testing solutions, IT management via ManageEngine distribution), professional services (on-site support, consulting), and managed services for telecom and industrial customers. Public company status provides operational stability in a sector with long sales cycles and sticky customer relationships.
