In-vehicle infotainment and connectivity software for Volkswagen Group brands
Volkswagen Infotainment develops embedded mobility software for Volkswagen Group vehicles, operating as part of the CARIAD umbrella after acquiring BlackBerry's Bochum R&D center in 2014. The tech stack (Python, MATLAB, OMNeT++, Robot Framework) reflects automotive-grade embedded systems work. Current hiring is minimal and skewed toward interns across engineering and quality roles, suggesting a mature, stable organization focused on compliance infrastructure and control-system optimization rather than aggressive headcount growth.
Volkswagen Infotainment supplies in-vehicle connectivity and infotainment solutions to multiple Volkswagen Group brands. The company employs over 1,200 staff across Bochum and Wolfsburg, split primarily between software developers and engineers working in German and English. The organization concentrates on system integrity, mobile online services, and next-generation vehicle connectivity. Active workstreams center on compliance management expansion, KPI automation, and control-board optimization—operational priorities typical of a maturing automotive software supplier within a large OEM.
