Working while studying is not easy. We know that. In our company, almost one in four of us worked in automotive engineering in our early days to support our studies. Some have stayed with us and developed their careers, while others have moved on with valuable experience and a significant notch on their CV.
"I found out about EDAG while studying industrial design at the Czech Technical University, where a practitioner (coincidentally, my current supervisor) was chosen as my thesis advisor. EDAG has generally impressed me with its wide range of opportunities that one can access, both for large multinational automotive projects and smaller ones for local companies. I had the opportunity to be part of the interior development for Vietnamese automotive start-up Vinfast from the beginning. I started as a support to an experienced colleague who I had the opportunity to learn from, and after less than a year I was given the responsibility of managing a separate part – the centre console. As part of the project, I also had the opportunity to work in Vietnam, being right in the middle of the action and soaking up the atmosphere of this dynamically changing environment. I took away valuable experience from the project, which I now draw on to lead and develop products for customers mostly outside the automotive industry. "
"I came to EDAG through my master's thesis at ČZU, where I worked with EDAG, who arranged for me to borrow a Tesla Model S for research. Right after school, I went straight into EDAG full time. Shortly thereafter, I got to work on a project to develop the Enyaq electric car in the quality department. On that project, I learned all the basics about automotive electrical architecture and controller communication that I still benefit from today. Since then, I have worked on many interesting projects, for example in ŠkodaAuto's innovation and pre-development department, while EDAG continuously trained me in the direction of project management and customer communication. Now, at ŠkodaAuto, I am part of a development team of experts in complex functions in the car that are safety-critical."
"I joined EDAG while I was still in college, when I came back after a year abroad and still had two semesters to finish. So I started part-time while finishing school. The reason I chose EDAG at the time was the ability to do interesting work and also the ability to find a collaborative model that allowed me to finish my degree. After graduation, I switched to full-time and that started my career which includes a progression from a part-time student to the position of CEO - EDAG Engineering CZ. I think it proves that there is a lot of room for growth here, and part of our DNA is to not be afraid to give young colleagues a chance."
It doesn't matter if you want to use your existing experience or are looking for new challenges and career opportunities in the automotive engineering field. Anyone who is interested and willing to connect their name with our vision and mission in the innovative world of automotive engineering will find a place with us.
"EDAG was recommended to me as a company where things are moving forward, and I will get the opportunity to prove something here. Before EDAG, I worked mainly for startups where things are done on the fly, so I was impressed by the level of work that goes into projects at EDAG. During my 3 years at EDAG, I had the opportunity to work on two projects: one was for a customer that specializes in pool technology and the other project that I am still working on is the development of the interior unit for the next generation of Škoda cars. During these projects I have improved significantly, especially in communication, project management and the ability to keep an open mind. I recommend EDAG as a company where you can develop tremendously and accelerate your career."
"I joined EDAG after four years of previous experience at a smaller 3D simulation company. The new working challenge for me was not only adapting to the more deadline-intensive automotive industry, but also working on large-scale projects with a large number of foreign colleagues, suppliers, and customers. During my time at EDAG, I had the opportunity to be part of numerous teams, but also to try my hand at managing sub-projects. What I like about my current job is that the range of scope is really broad, whether it's developing air conditioning for traditional car or tractor manufacturers, designing cooling for car batteries, or optimising swimming pools for example. Currently, I am in charge of the CFD section (flow simulation) within the computational department."
