Development
We develop new technologies for the cars of the future
What we work on:
Operating systems
Our team works on operating systems for Volkswagen Group vehicles – from security mechanisms and system services to diagnostics and custom tools that push the boundaries of automotive software. We create a reliable, secure, and high-performance foundation that enables modern cars to function as connected, intelligent, and safe systems, from infotainment to advanced assistance systems.
Key areas of our development:
- Automotive operating systems We develop and integrate core software layers. We ensure the system runs stably, efficiently, and is ready for future features.
- Security and system supervision We create diagnostic, monitoring, network communication, and security mechanisms (Cybersecurity, Safety Engineering, Data Communication, …).
- Custom tools and frameworks We develop internal tools that simplify developers’ work and improve software quality and capabilities.
- Component integration We ensure that all software components – from core services to applications – work smoothly together (CI/CD, Jenkins, Bazel, Cloud, …).
Autonomous driving ADAS, AI, and Computer Vision
In the field of ADAS, AI, and Computer Vision, we work on systems behind safety assistants, automated driving, and intelligent behavior of modern vehicles both inside and outside the car.
Our algorithms help cars recognize situations, predict risks, and perform safe maneuvers – from emergency braking and obstacle avoidance to monitoring driver attention and comfort.
Key areas of our development:
- Exterior perception systems We develop sensor-based algorithms. We teach cars to recognize objects, lanes, obstacles, traffic signs, and complex traffic situations.
- Computer Vision and Deep Learning We train neural networks for object detection, segmentation, and classification. We work with extensive datasets and modern architectures that improve both accuracy and processing speed.
- ADAS features and logic We participate in the development of assistance systems for longitudinal and lateral vehicle control – predictive adaptive cruise control, lane change assist, parking assistants, semi-autonomous and autonomous driving systems.
- Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) We develop algorithms capable of detecting imminent collisions in time and automatically activating braking. The system evaluates distance, speed, and object trajectory and reacts within milliseconds.
- Evasive and stabilization maneuvers We create logic that enables the vehicle not only to brake but also to actively avoid obstacles when it is safer. We combine perception, prediction, and vehicle control so the car can handle critical situations.
- Sensor fusion We integrate data from multiple sensors to give the car the most accurate understanding of its surroundings. Combining cameras, radars, and lidars increases reliability even in adverse conditions.
- Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) We develop algorithms that monitor driver attention, fatigue, distraction, or microsleep. The system can provide timely warnings or activate safety and comfort functions.
- Interior Sensing We work on technologies that detect the presence of passengers in the cabin, their position, posture, or gestures. This information helps optimize both safety features and comfort functions.
In-vehicle interior technologies
At Digiteq, we develop technologies that define how people perceive cars, interact with them, and feel inside them. We combine infotainment development, interior sensors, and intelligent safety features into one system that forms the digital brain of the cabin.
Key areas of our development:
- HMI and user interfaces We design and develop intuitive interfaces for touchscreens, instrument clusters, and head-up displays. We focus on ergonomics, responsiveness, and clean, modern design.
- Multimedia and entertainment We develop systems for music playback, video, streaming services, and mobile device integration. We ensure smooth operation, stability, and high-quality sound and visuals.
- Navigation and online services We integrate modern map data, traffic information, cloud services, and predictive features. We work to make navigation fast, accurate, and always up to date.
- Connectivity and mobile device integration We develop features for Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, mobile applications, and online services. Thanks to this, the car becomes a fully connected digital device.
- Voice control and assistants We create intelligent voice systems that understand natural speech and allow users to control vehicle functions without touching the display.
- Interior personalization We work on features that automatically adjust vehicle settings to a specific driver – seats, air conditioning, infotainment, lighting, or driving modes.
- Optimization of safety features We develop logic that helps systems such as airbags or seatbelt pretensioners react precisely according to the cabin situation.
Systems engineering and functional development
At Digiteq, we work to ensure that all software and hardware components of modern vehicles cooperate reliably, safely, and as expected. Systems engineering and functional development are key disciplines that connect individual technologies into one functional system – from the first idea to final implementation in the vehicle.
Key areas of our development:
- Definition of functions and system requirements We translate customer and product needs into specific technical requirements. We define how individual functions should work, what their limits are, and how they should behave in different situations.
- System architecture We design software structures and their integration with hardware. We determine how modules, sensors, control units, and cloud services will communicate with each other.
- Functional development We develop feature logic – from core system services to advanced assistance and comfort functions across platforms.
- Modeling and simulation We create behavior models of functions and test them in simulations before implementation. This allows us to detect problems before they reach the vehicle.
- Integration and validation We test features in laboratory conditions, on HIL systems, and in real vehicles on proving grounds and in test operations.
- Safety & Security We work according to automotive standards such as ISO 26262 or SOTIF. We ensure functions are safe, predictable, and resistant to errors and cyber threats.
- Coordination between teams Systems engineering is the bridge between development, testing, architecture, hardware, and product management. We ensure everyone works according to the same vision and specifications with the goal of creating a successful product – a vehicle that succeeds on the market.
We’ll get along well if:
You have logical
and algorithmic thinking
and coding is not your only interest.
You acknowledge that even good
analysis and testing have
their place in the
software development cycle.
You follow current trends
and enjoy creating
unconventional solutions.

We create software that keeps the entire group connected
In our department, we develop key low-level software components of the operating system for the Volkswagen Group’s unified platform. Thanks to our work, individual control units communicate reliably across different hardware types – from small control modules to next-generation high-performance computing units.
