Automotive lighting and safety systems manufacturer across three continents
Vignal Group manufactures lighting and safety components for commercial and off-road vehicles with production footprints in France, Switzerland, the US, and China. The tech stack reflects a traditional automotive supplier: legacy ERP (Dynamics NAV), embedded systems (C/C++, Visual Studio), and rigorous quality methodologies (IATF 16949, APQP, SPC, AMDEC). Active hiring skews toward engineering and manufacturing roles across mid-to-senior levels, with projects focused on production optimization (SMED, DOP implementation) and workstation ergonomics—suggesting internal pressure to improve cycle times and labor efficiency while managing supplier quality issues.
Vignal Group is a global automotive supplier specializing in lighting systems (headlamps, rear lights, LED, work lights) and audible safety solutions for commercial and industrial vehicles. The company operates seven manufacturing and logistics sites across France, Switzerland, the United States, and China, organized around a "global design for local production" model. Their customer base includes major commercial vehicle manufacturers; the company competes on regulatory compliance (ISO standards, vehicle safety directives) and environmental responsibility. Vignal serves mid-market B2B customers in the transportation sector with engineered solutions subject to strict automotive quality gates.
Vignal's core systems include Dynamics NAV for ERP, C/C++ and Visual Studio for embedded firmware, Altium for PCB design, and LDRA for code analysis. Manufacturing operations rely on IATF 16949, APQP, SPC, and AMDEC (FMEA) methodologies.
Vignal operates seven industrial sites: four in France (Vignal Systems, Sesaly, ABL, Sarr), one in Switzerland (CEA), one in the US (ABL US), and one in China (Changzhou).
