DXN Talent

Automotive

Powertrain, software and manufacturing talent for an industry rebuilding itself around electrification.

Hiring in Automotive

Automotive is being rewritten. Vehicle programmes now need embedded software engineers, battery specialists and ADAS validation teams alongside the traditional powertrain and body engineering skills.

We recruit for OEMs, tier-one suppliers and the EV startups competing with them, in the UK, Europe and India.

What makes it hard

  • Battery and power electronics expertise is scarce and being bid up by every player at once.
  • Software-defined vehicles need engineers who understand both automotive safety standards and modern software practice.
  • Established OEMs compete for the same people as well-funded EV startups offering equity.
  • Programme timelines mean a vacancy left open for a quarter puts launch dates at risk.
