Digiteq Automotive

Lucie Fraňková’s career at Digiteq Automotive is truly inspiring. In just three years, thanks to her dedication, she has progressed from a department manager’s assistant to a project manager, achieving her professional goals along the way.

Her role is primarily focused on effective communication and ensuring the smooth execution of the projects her team works on. Lucie’s work is highly diverse, encompassing classic project management tasks such as team coordination, project oversight, and various administrative duties, including procurement and invoicing. She also occasionally takes part in video production and testing project vehicles during the development of new features.

What Lucie appreciates most about the company is the friendly and creative work environment, with a strong emphasis on innovation.

Faisal Al-Rayes has been with Digiteq Automotive since 2022, working as a software developer and chapter leader. His role focuses on improving the efficiency of testers, ultimately saving time and reducing costs for the company.

He joined the company for the opportunity to grow professionally and be part of a place where ideas can be developed and implemented. Another key factor was his passion for cars. After studying at the Czech Technical University, he was particularly interested in the automotive industry, especially in Škoda, and Digiteq Automotive brought him closer to this field.

Faisal's team consists of around ten people, including testers and software engineers. However, his work often extends beyond his immediate team as he contributes to enhancing efficiency across other areas as well.

Communication flows smoothly through tools like Teams, allowing for quick collaboration and problem-solving. He believes that curiosity and the ability to learn from failures are essential for anyone joining Digiteq. The skill to analyze mistakes and find ways to improve is crucial, and Digiteq fosters this culture of continuous improvement.

Lucie Moreira is a great example of how it's possible to successfully balance professional life with motherhood at Digiteq. She joined our team in 2023 as a software developer, drawn by the opportunity to work on projects that have a real impact and are truly visible.

Lucie is part of a small, tight-knit team made up of three developers and one project manager. Since all team members work part-time, they have the flexibility to focus on other projects or personal commitments. This flexible work setup is one of the key advantages for Lucie, as it allows her to effectively balance her work with her family life.

Currently, she is involved in the development of the Local Hazard Indication project, which focuses on providing timely warnings to drivers about upcoming road obstacles. This work fulfills her because she gets the chance to study and apply innovative methods, explore different approaches, and experiment with new ideas.

Milan Kořínek joined the Digiteq Automotive team in 2022, taking on the role of project manager. His main responsibilities include project planning, change and risk management, coordinating deliveries, and leading the team to ensure efficient collaboration among all members.

Milan's workdays are filled with managing his team and addressing the daily challenges that arise during projects. Currently, Milan and his team are focused on software testing of Combi instruments, also known as dashboards or onboard computers, as well as software testing of the vehicle's navigation app and infotainment database.

What Milan values most about working at Digiteq Automotive are the company's core principles of fairness and transparency. One of his biggest challenges is managing an international team, where different work and cultural practices intersect. This not only enriches his professional experience but also broadens his worldview. A great source of joy for Milan is the fact that his team collaborates seamlessly, not only at work but also outside of it, sharing a common passion for cars, including vintage vehicles.

Od roku 2018, kdy jsem v Digitequ začal jako tester při studiích, jsem měl příležitost vyzkoušet si různé projekty, především jako Python vývojář. Poslední tři roky působím jako projektový manažer a nyní jsem zodpovědný za projekt zaměřený na testování digitálního asistenta Audi.

Můj tým je rozmanitý nejen svým složením, ale i geograficky – pracujeme společně z Česka, Německa i Srbska. Mým úkolem je koordinovat všechny členy týmu tak, aby každý rozuměl své roli a společnému cíli.

Pro Digiteq jsem se rozhodl, protože jsem od malička nadšenec do aut a technologií. Tady mám jedinečnou příležitost pracovat s obojím současně. Navíc je u nás přátelská a neformální atmosféra, která mě každý den motivuje. Oceňuji i velkou míru volnosti a autonomie, kterou na své pozici mám. Od nových kolegů očekávám samostatnost, schopnost neustále se učit nové věci, a hlavně týmového ducha. Důležité je také to, aby zapadli do našeho kolektivu, kde se vzájemně podporujeme a učíme jeden od druhého.

Ivo Vodička has been working at Digiteq since 2020, where he is responsible for coordinating a team focused on the development and testing of vehicle access systems. His lifelong fascination with cars made a career in the automotive industry an obvious choice for him. Positive feedback from friends already working at Digiteq also played a big part in his decision to join the company. His team consists of eight people, including a test manager, a systems engineer, and testers. They collaborate daily, and Ivo's role is not only to assign tasks and ensure they are completed but also to provide support to the entire team.

Ivo's hiring process was quick and efficient—within two weeks of submitting his application, he had his first interview, and after another two weeks, he had completed the second and third rounds and was hired. He started at Digiteq as a developer of automated HIL testing equipment, transitioned to the role of systems engineer, where he was responsible for the development of electrical components for air conditioning systems, and now serves as a project manager.

If Ivo had to describe Digiteq in three words, they would be openness, flexibility, and friendship.
