How to Get Hired at dSPACE

  • dSPACE is a privately held German Mittelstand engineering company founded in 1988 as a University of Paderborn spin-off, with roughly 2,500 employees and a 38-year track record of being the global standard for hardware-in-the-loop simulation in automotive ECU development.
  • Applications go through myjobboard.de (NOT SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, or Greenhouse — a common assumption that wastes recruiter time when candidates email the wrong portal). The form is German-first and demands a complete document package: CV, cover letter, Zeugnisse, salary expectation in EUR, and earliest start date.
