SPARKS GmbH - Automotive Engineering

We are SPARKS GmbH from Ingolstadt and a development partner of leading premium automobile manufacturers. As an infotainment specialist with many years of experience, we offer a wide range of services. From the very first start of planning an infotainment system until it is finally ready for production, we thoroughly support our customers. We owe our success to our specialized teams who apply their individual skills in all our divisions and thus contribute to the future of infotainment. With our innovative products and solutions, we not only improve the efficiency and quality of our own work, but also the outcome of our customers and cooperation partners. It all started in 2012 when we joined the testing business. From a three-person operation to the 100-member team we represent today, our ambition has not changed: to persistently improve the world of infotainment systems. We are proud that our team members are from various educational backgrounds and from different cultures and we are on the road of success. We consider it very important that our employees can develop professionally and personally. With the help of internal training programs, we offer opportunities to gain key qualifications and deepen specialist knowledge. To strengthen the sense of being part of a hardworking, yet fun-loving team, we love playing table football or challenging colleagues to an exciting tournament of Tekken or SingStar. At our legendary Christmas and summer parties, the whole company gets together to boost the SPARKS team spirit across locations.

SPARKS is getting more and more international and therefore supports cooperation with Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI) and international universities as official partners. It is our great pleasure to offer internships for international students in different areas, for example in hardware and software development, testing of speech dialogue systems or human-machine interfaces. Students do not only gain exciting insights into the world of infotainment development, but also experience the start-up feeling at first hand. We are very proud that this year, a student from the THI partner Federal University of Paraná UFPR in Brazil will support us during her internship for one year as a system analyst in the team “Overall System Testing”. SPARKS offers different opportunities for students and young professionals: www.sparks gmbh.de/home/.
