Tenneco Tech Stack
Auto parts manufacturer scaling lean operations and automation across global plants
Tenneco manufactures exhaust, powertrain, and suspension systems for the automotive industry at scale (10,000+ employees across 17 countries). The tech stack reflects a mature industrial operation — heavy CAD/CAM (AutoCAD, Creo, Mastercam), factory automation (Siemens, Yaskawa, Allen-Bradley, SCADA), and ERP (SAP) — but active adoption of RPA and programmable logic controllers signals a push toward higher automation rates. Current hiring is heavily weighted toward manufacturing (118 roles) and engineering (88), with leadership focus on operations and strategic roles, indicating a transformation phase centered on productivity and standardization.
