Global automotive major Stellantis plans to hire around 1,100 software engineers in the next 12 to 18 months in India, which has been made the global competence centre for the development of new-age cockpit, company Chief Software Officer Yves Bonnefont said on Thursday.
The company’s 50:50 joint venture with Taiwan’s Foxconn — MobileDrive, for the development of cockpit software — has also set up a new office in Bengaluru and aims to hire around 100 software engineers by the end of 2023, to leverage local talent and cater not only to Stellantis but potentially to other car makers globally.
As part of its global software strategy, Stellantis has embarked "on a big transformation journey" building its technology platforms of the future to be released to the market starting next year at the end of 2024, said Bonnefont.
