Key Takeaways
- There is no standalone 'Delphi Technologies' employer in Poland anymore — every former Delphi site now reports to BorgWarner Inc., and you apply through BorgWarner's Workday at borgwarner.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/BorgWarner_Careers.
- Confirm which legal entity owns the role before signing: BorgWarner (most former Delphi sites), PHINIA (fuel-injection lines spun out July 2023), or Aptiv (the separate 2017 split that kept active safety / mobility). The Workday domain on the apply button is the cleanest signal.
- The Krakow Tech Center is the most attractive lane today — strong R&D, EV pivot funding, English-language work environment, hybrid schedule, and good Glassdoor sentiment for engineering roles in controls, embedded SW, functional safety, and power electronics.
- Plant roles in Blonie, Ostrów Wielkopolski, Rzeszów, Tychy, Tczew, and Gdynia run on a separate Polish-language hiring track with shorter cycles, three-shift patterns, and active NSZZ Solidarność / OPZZ representation. Submit a Polish-language CV.
- Workday rewards a single, persistent, well-maintained candidate profile. Multiple fragmented profiles hurt you; a clean profile with corrected parser output and active job alerts works for you across every BorgWarner site globally.
- Standards literacy is non-negotiable for engineering roles: IATF 16949, ISO 26262 (with ASIL depth), ASPICE, ISO 21434. Foreground specific tools by name and version (MATLAB/Simulink, Vector CANoe, dSPACE, INCA, AUTOSAR Classic vs Adaptive).
- BorgWarner is in the middle of a multi-year EV powertrain pivot ('Charging Forward'), and 2024–2025 brought further restructuring announcements. Ask directly in the final round about your site's investment plan, headcount trajectory, and any pending spin-out exposure for the line you are joining.

About Delphi Technologies Poland
Application Process
-
1
Start at borgwarner
Start at borgwarner.com/careers and click 'Job Search'. The widget on that page is a thin wrapper around BorgWarner's Workday tenant at borgwarner.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/BorgWarner_Careers, so you can also go straight to Workday and filter by Country = Poland to see every PL opening (Kraków, Blonie/Błonie, Rzeszów, Ostrów Wielkopolski, Tychy, Tczew, Gdynia).
-
2
Create a Workday candidate profile with a real, monitored email address
Create a Workday candidate profile with a real, monitored email address. Workday is shared across all BorgWarner sites globally, so the profile you build for a Krakow controls engineering role is the same profile that will surface to recruiters in Auburn Hills, Stuttgart, and Pune. Keep it polished.
-
3
Upload your CV as a PDF and let Workday parse it into the structured profile fie
Upload your CV as a PDF and let Workday parse it into the structured profile fields, then immediately go back and correct the parser's mistakes. Workday's parser is mediocre on Polish-language CVs, polish (no pun intended) the auto-filled work history, dates, and skills sections by hand or your application will look incomplete to the recruiter even though your PDF is fine.

4
For Krakow Tech Center engineering roles (controls, embedded SW, functional safe
For Krakow Tech Center engineering roles (controls, embedded SW, functional safety, EV power electronics, model-based design), expect a recruiter screen in English within 1 to 3 weeks if you match. For plant roles in Blonie/Ostrów/Tychy/Tczew/Gdynia, the screen will usually be in Polish and turnaround can be faster (1 to 7 days) for production operator and technician openings.
-
5
After the recruiter screen, the next step is a hiring manager technical intervie
After the recruiter screen, the next step is a hiring manager technical interview, then typically a panel with 2 to 4 cross-functional engineers or team leads. For software/embedded roles you should expect a take-home or live coding exercise (often C, sometimes C++, MATLAB/Simulink for model-based design roles, Python for tooling). Functional safety roles will probe ISO 26262 ASIL decomposition in detail.

Offers from BorgWarner Poland are issued in writing through Workday and, for eng
Offers from BorgWarner Poland are issued in writing through Workday and, for engineering roles, are typically umowa o pracę (employment contract) with a 3-month probation period; some contractor-style B2B arrangements exist for senior specialists but are not the default. Review the non-compete and IP assignment clauses carefully — they are written for a U.S.-headquartered employer and can be broader than what Polish candidates expect.
-
7
Background checks (employment verification, education verification, criminal rec
Background checks (employment verification, education verification, criminal record certificate / zaświadczenie o niekaralności for some roles) are run by an external vendor after offer acceptance. Do not give notice at your current employer until the background check clears in writing.

Onboarding is hybrid for Krakow Tech Center (typically 2 to 3 days/week on-site
Onboarding is hybrid for Krakow Tech Center (typically 2 to 3 days/week on-site at the Kraków campus near Bonarka or Quattro Business Park area) and fully on-site for plant roles. You will get a BorgWarner laptop, a borgwarner.com email, and access to the global Workday, ServiceNow, and Microsoft 365 tenant on day one.
Resume Tips for Delphi Technologies Poland
Mirror the exact role title from the Workday job posting in your CV summary line
Mirror the exact role title from the Workday job posting in your CV summary line. BorgWarner's recruiters search Workday's internal candidate database by job-title keywords constantly, and a CV that says 'Embedded Software Engineer — Powertrain Controls' will surface where 'Senior Developer' will not.
Quantify automotive-relevant impact: PPM defect reductions, line OEE improvement
Quantify automotive-relevant impact: PPM defect reductions, line OEE improvements, software memory footprint reductions on target MCU, ASIL-B/D items closed, customer (OEM) milestones hit (PPAP, SOP, A/B/C-sample). BorgWarner is a Tier 1 supplier and its hiring managers think in OEM program milestones.
List the specific tools and standards you have used by name and version where re
List the specific tools and standards you have used by name and version where relevant: MATLAB/Simulink (with version), Vector CANoe/CANalyzer, dSPACE, INCA, ETAS, AUTOSAR Classic vs Adaptive, ISO 26262 (and which ASIL levels), ASPICE level (and which level you have been audited at), IATF 16949, A-SPICE, Polarion, JIRA, DOORS.
If you are applying to a Polish plant role, submit a Polish-language CV alongsid
If you are applying to a Polish plant role, submit a Polish-language CV alongside the English one. Krakow Tech Center recruiters work in English by default, but plant HR in Ostrów, Blonie, Tychy, Tczew, and Gdynia will assess Polish-language candidates faster when the CV is in Polish, and operator-level roles are screened almost exclusively in Polish.
Include a short, honest 'Companies / programs' line for each role: which OEM cus
Include a short, honest 'Companies / programs' line for each role: which OEM customer (VW Group, Stellantis, Ford, Hyundai-Kia, Volvo Cars, etc.), which platform, which production volume. This is the language Tier 1 hiring managers think in and it instantly signals you understand the supplier-OEM dynamic.
If you held a 'Delphi Technologies' role between 2017 and 2020 (post-Aptiv split
If you held a 'Delphi Technologies' role between 2017 and 2020 (post-Aptiv split, pre-BorgWarner acquisition), label it cleanly: 'Delphi Technologies (acquired by BorgWarner, 2020)'. This avoids the recruiter pattern-matching you to the wrong successor entity (Aptiv, PHINIA, or BorgWarner) and saves a clarifying email.
For EV-track roles (electric drive motors, inverters, on-board chargers, power e
For EV-track roles (electric drive motors, inverters, on-board chargers, power electronics, eMobility battery systems), foreground SiC/GaN power semiconductor experience, high-voltage safety qualifications (PN-EN 50110, NFPA 70E equivalents), and any experience with the BorgWarner-acquired technologies (Cascadia Motion, Rhombus Energy, AKASOL battery systems, Hubei Surpass Sun Electric).
Avoid gimmicks
Avoid gimmicks. BorgWarner Workday auto-rejects nothing on style grounds, but recruiters at a global Tier 1 see thousands of CVs and the ones that get a callback are clean, single-column, dates aligned, sections labeled in English (or Polish for plant roles), and PDF — not Word, not Canva, not infographic.
ATS System: Workday
BorgWarner Inc. — the parent company of every former Delphi Technologies Polish site — runs its global recruiting on Workday, hosted at borgwarner.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com under the 'BorgWarner_Careers' site. The widget embedded on borgwarner.com/careers/job-search is a styled front-end that posts to the same Workday backend. There is no separate 'Delphi' ATS, no Polish-only careers portal, and no SAP SuccessFactors instance for Poland — it is one Workday tenant, globally, in English by default with selectable locale. Job IDs follow the format Rxxxx-xxxx (for example R2026-1452) and persist as the canonical identifier across the recruiting funnel.
- Use a single, persistent Workday profile. If you apply to multiple BorgWarner roles in Poland (or anywhere globally), use the same login. Recruiters can see all your applications and a fragmented presence across 3 different profiles looks like 5 different people, none of whom are fully qualified.
- Let the PDF parser auto-fill the work history, then manually correct it. The parser frequently mangles Polish characters in city names (Łódź, Wrocław, Ostrów) and miscategorizes employment dates if you used DD.MM.YYYY format. Switch to YYYY-MM in your CV to make the parser's job easier.
- Save searches and turn on email alerts inside Workday rather than relying on the borgwarner.com careers page — the careers page widget is cached and lags the underlying Workday data by hours. Workday alerts are real-time.
- After applying, check the application status by logging back into Workday. 'Under Consideration' means a recruiter has triaged it; 'In Progress' means it has moved to a hiring manager queue; 'Not Selected' is the closeout. BorgWarner does not always email a rejection — log in to verify.
- When uploading documents, attach the CV, a Polish-language CV (if applying to a plant role), and a short cover letter as separate files. Workday allows multiple attachments and the recruiter sees all of them. A separate cover letter still helps for senior roles and for transitions between functions (e.g., aerospace to automotive).
Interview Culture
Interview culture at the former Delphi Technologies Polish sites varies sharply by location.
What Delphi Technologies Poland Looks For
- Demonstrable Tier 1 automotive supplier experience or a credible adjacent path (defense, aerospace, industrial automation, consumer electronics manufacturing) that shows you understand high-volume, regulated, customer-program-driven engineering.
- Fluency with the standards stack: IATF 16949 (quality management), ISO 26262 (functional safety, with ASIL level depth for SW/HW roles), ASPICE (process maturity, level 2 minimum for SW), ISO 21434 (cybersecurity), and increasingly ISO/SAE 21448 SOTIF for advanced controls.
- For Krakow Tech Center engineering roles: working English (B2+ minimum, C1 preferred for senior/lead roles) and the ability to work cross-site with U.S., German, Indian, and Chinese teams in different time zones without dropping balls.
- For plant roles: working Polish (native or near-native), willingness to commit to three-shift patterns where required, and verifiable trade qualifications (SEP electrical certifications, forklift / UDT licenses, welding qualifications) where relevant to the role.
- EV-track competence is the strongest tailwind in 2026: power electronics (SiC/GaN), high-voltage safety, electric drive motor design, inverter control, on-board charger architecture, battery management systems, and software for EV powertrain controllers. BorgWarner's 'Charging Forward' strategy explicitly funds these lanes.
- Functional safety culture: candidates who can talk fluently about safety goals, safety requirements decomposition, FMEDA, FTA, dependent failure analysis, and the documentation overhead of an ASIL-D item — without rolling their eyes — are visibly preferred over candidates who treat safety as a paperwork exercise.
- Track record of shipping to OEM milestones (A/B/C-sample, PPAP, SOP) on at least one production program. BorgWarner hires for delivery, not for theory; a candidate who has missed a milestone and can talk honestly about why is more credible than one who claims everything went smoothly.
- Cultural alignment with the post-acquisition BorgWarner identity rather than nostalgia for 'old Delphi'. Hiring managers notice when a candidate spends the interview lamenting how much better things were before 2020 — it reads as a flight risk and a culture-fit miss.
