Volkswagen Infotainment GmbH

What is part of every successfully completed move? That's right, a housewarming party! That's why we celebrated the opening of our new Headquarter at MARK 51°7 the week before last with companions from the last ten years. 🤩    Among others, mayor Thomas Eiskirch, Alf Pollex from CARIAD and Albert ten Brinke from Ten Brinke were present, who in their welcoming speeches also looked back on the history of Volkswagen Infotainment in Bochum and on the planning and construction period of our new building: Starting out with about 200 colleagues, we now have more than 1000 employees and after more than one move since this year, all Bochum colleagues are finally united at one location! 💪    Of course, the symbolic cutting of the opening ribbon was not to be missed, before our guests divided into several groups to take a closer look at the HQ. From our vehicle hall to the engineering building, to offices and meeting rooms, insights into the different areas and working methods were given, which was rounded off by demonstrations and presentations on our products and developments.     Anyone who wasn't there live can now get an impression of the event – enjoy! 😊  Photographer: Joshua A.

My highlight of last week 🚗 I had the honor and pleasure of delivering a keynote at the #CarSymposium2024, where I shared insights of Volkswagen Infotainment GmbH from 10 years of Digital Transformation: "Always Connected - coding mindset". Transformation is a #team effort, requiring many brilliant minds. It was an immense joy to join Peter Fintl, Jan Becker, and Joachim Franz, who also delivered outstanding keynotes. A big thank you to Dirk Wollschläger for his moderation. The 20th Car Symposium in Bochum was a remarkable event filled with inspiring insights from key automotive players. The Volkswagen world featured valuable contributions from Gunnar Kilian, Klaus Zellmer, Dr. Christian Dahlheim, Stefan Büscher, and Stefan Mecha. Many thanks to Prof. Dr. Helena Wisbert, Beatrix C. Keim, and Dirk Wollschläger for organizing two well-structured and content-rich days in Bochum. And Thank You #VWIFteam: Alexandre Keller, Tobit Reitstetter, Dr. Koen Van Hooste, Felix Timmers, Gina Siemann, Simone Stickeln, and Joline Jambrosic #VWIFteam #letsconnect #DigitalTransformation #AutomotiveIndustry #Innovation #Teamwork #CarSymposium #Keynote #Volkswagen

Get To Know our NewHQ - Engineering Building! 🛠️🏢 We design the future of mobility! Where do we do this, you ask? Join us on a trip down a truly magical part of our NewHQ: The engineering building. 🛠️ Situated roughly in the middle of the complex, the engineering building is where our developers and engineers take their ideas from the drawing board and make them a reality. To do this, this jewel of a building has quite a few aces up its sleeve. An array that simulates hundreds of cars? We’ve got it! 💪 How about 3D-printers that we use to prototype casings for car electronics? There’s something wrong with a motherboard? We can x-ray it and find out the tiniest of details. By the way, have you ever wondered whether we take our products for a bumpy ride? We do indeed! An entire building wing is dedicated to taking our products and submitting them to simulated rain, humidity, heat up to 100 degrees C and cold of around 30 degrees below freezing. So what about the bumps? Also yes! We have a chamber specifically intended to simulate punctual shocks. In case you’ve ever wondered whether someone has ever tested the effect of hitting a pothole on electronics, the answer is a resounding yes! We also have shielded rooms that can block any exterior signal while simulating any signal of choice. One of these rooms can even fit an entire van! Given this immense arsenal of tools, at Volkswagen Infotainment, we are committed to pioneering the future of mobility and we are overjoyed to have the appropriate infrastructure at our disposal! 💪 Better connected. #volkswageninfotainment #vwif #futuremobility #technology #pioneer #pioneeringspirit #vision #software #hardware #development

0% divided, 100% diverse! This is Volkswagen Infotainment. Happy German Diversity Day! 💛 Volkswagen Infotainment: better connected. #diversityday #diversity #ddt24 #ilikeworkingwithyou #betterconnected #volkswageninfotainment

IT specialist ... software developer ... women in technical professions? 💭 Of course! 💡 Today we want to do away with the stereotype that technical professions are only for men. This is exactly what we want to convey to the next generation by showing young girls that software and technology need female strength too! 💪👩 As every year, GirlsDay@VolkswagenInfotainment took place two week ago - now a cherished tradition at our company. For one day, 10 girls aged between 11 and 16 gained an insight into various professions and departments at our company.   The day began with a delicious breakfast together and an introduction. Afterwards, our trainees presented our various apprenticeships to the girls, as well as some exciting trainee projects from the past year - including the cross-functional "VWIF.Racer" project and the self-built model of a self-driving car. 💡 The trainees' projects made a fun and interesting impression on the girls! 🤩   After the trainees, two female colleagues from the Software Development department gave an insight about their job and background. They encouraged the girls to pursue a technical career if they were interested in the subject. 👩💻 After that, the girls explored the e-call and had the chance to take a look inside the ID.3. 🚨 🚗 After a joint lunch break, they could get creative and active, as they were able to gain their own practical experience by programming a circuit playground at the end of the day. 🤩 💡   We would like to thank everyone involved in this year's Girls' Day! We are delighted with the great interest shown by the girls and hope that this day at our company has inspired one or two of them to pursue a technical career. And who knows, you might see one of the faces again soon - then as a young talent in the technology sector. 💭 👩💻

We’ve arrived! 💪   Everyday life in the new building has been welcomed remarkably fast and therefore it’s time to finally show you around. In this series “Get to know NewHQ” we want to give you various insights into our new building.   Recently our café has become fully operational, and it already has a name: It's called Connecteria! The name results of a creative and exciting naming competition. The perfect name for place to “connect” during breaks, right? 😀 Our Connecteria not only represents our daily business of developing vehicle connectivity, but also provides a space unlike any other – a place where one can step away from the usual workplace, enjoy a selection of food and drinks and connect with different people at the dining table.   The NewHQ’s foyer is a venue of celebrarion: The progress of the move and the name unveiling together with our colleagues – of course with a lot of delicious food! 😀   Here are a few key facts about the Connecteria: · 240m²! 👏 · 120 seats! 🙌 · Delicious dishes and snacks! 🍝 · Coffee fresh from the barista bar! ☕   So, what do you think of the name of our café?   Look forward to more insights into our NewHQ!

Our mission at Volkswagen Infotainment GmbH is to foster better connectivity, true to our motto 'better connected' – and that also includes close collaboration with universities in the Bochum Area. That's why I recently organized a workshop on 'How to Apply Right' for the students with our partneruni THGA. At Volkswagen, 0%Boxes means considering things from a different perspective – in this case, from the perspective of a Recruiter, which is oftenly not as intimidating as many may think 😉 Personally, I always enjoy offering insights to students and supporting them in their career journeys. Thanks for the Technische Hochschule Georg Agricola for coming to our NHQ 💼🌟 #Volkswagen #THGA #PerspectiveShift #CareerDevelopment"
