Careers

Our purpose is our guide

Our people share a passion: to save more lives through innovation -- working together to sustainably transform the standards of mobility safety

The purpose of our work is with us every day. We want to save more lives and make mobility safer for everyone. It is personal.  It affects us, our families and everyone we care about.  The next life we save could be one of theirs.

Our ways of working make Saving More Lives possible

It is easy to overlook an individual’s role in making a difference. However, we believe that the positive contributions made by each and every colleague are crucial to achieve our vision. When everyone pulls in the same direction, the impact is enormous. Successful ways of working are about inspiring collaboration, using the perspectives of others, sharing knowledge and insights. We are challenging and re-defining current safety standards to create market first solutions.
