TRW Automotive Holdings Corp used its participation in the recent 2015 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas to stand as a platform to highlight the expansion of its electronics group – and in particular the growth of its dedicated Automated Vehicle team.
Tolga Oal, vice-president, TRW Global Electronics commented: "Automated functions are at the top of the industry's agenda. This requires an increase in the level of integration between sensors, controllers and actuators as well as redundancy strategies. We have aligned our business in several ways in order to more effectively partner with our customers in these areas."
"For example, our Automated Vehicle engineering team is doubling in size in 2015 in order to meet the growing product development demand from our European, North American and Japanese customers. This is part of a wider effort in which the company is hiring engineers and technicians to also support the overall growth of our Driver Assist System product portfolio," Oal concluded.
TRW's electronics business has accelerated rapidly over the last three years with the hiring of more than 650 engineers and technicians globally. The majority of these new hires work in the development of advanced radar and camera technologies at technical centres in North America and Europe.
TRW develops and manufactures its video camera sensors in Peterlee, the UK, and Marshall, Illinois in the USA, supported by technical centres in Koblenz, Germany, Dusseldorf, Germany, Solihull, the UK and Farmington Hills in the USA. The company develops and manufactures its radar sensors in Brest, France, supported by technical centres in Koblenz, Germany and Solihull in the UK. Regional technical centres provide customer support across the world.
