Career opportunities

As an automotive computing graduate, you are the link between the world of classic software development and that of road-based mobility . Large corporations as well as innovative start-ups need specialists who can help shape the mobility of tomorrow in precisely this role, e.g. as developers of software that enables connected driving and other services.

Companies from various fields are increasingly investing in the business fields related to modern mobility, so the demand for experts in this field will certainly continue to grow.

Potential employers can be found across Austria and internationally in a wide variety of areas. Some typical examples are:

-Vehicle manufacturers (e.g. BMW, VW, Audi, Porsche, Magna, Rotax)
-System and solution suppliers (e.g. Kapsch, Efkon, Continental, Bosch, Siemens, AVL)
-Operator of road and communication infrastructure (e.g. Asfinag; A1, T-Mobile, 3)
-Transport companies (e.g. Schachinger, Transdanubia, Quehenberger)
-Content and service developer (e.g. fluidtime, bluesource)
-Mobility clubs and authorities (e.g. ÖAMTC, ARBÖ, TÜV)

In a survey of company representatives, the following typical occupational fields for automotive computing graduates were rated according to the current demand for skilled workers. The majority of the companies surveyed are therefore looking for appropriately trained staff.
