Previously, software engineering expertise was dispersed among various teams throughout the company and reported separately through product lines and R&D.
The newly formed team reports directly to the supplier’s chief technology officer.
Nexteer’s centralised software team will support Electric Power Steering (EPS) systems and advanced steering feature development. In addition, the new structure will also support software-related R&D projects including software solutions that could be cloud-based or reside within a centralised chassis domain controller.
Nexteer’s new software engineering structure aligns with R&D collaborations on two fronts with CNXMotion and Tactile Mobility.
