IT Specialists

Our IT experts work with the most advanced technologies on a range of unique projects. They have access to top-notch hardware, artificial intelligence, and one of the largest computing clusters in Central Europe.

What do IT Specialists do?

A car manufacturer without information technology is like a car without wheels. It won't get far without them. Explore the possibilities of vehicle personalization, advance automation, or design systems that are essential for production, warehousing, and our dealer network. You will collaborate with experts from across the company and the Volkswagen group. Discover what unprecedented connections of expertise can bring. Who knows, perhaps one day, a self-driving car will get off the line, and you will be the first to test it on the road... Let's not predict the future, but create it.

What abilities you should have?

Communicate quickly and effectively. Keep a cool head even when errors arise. Stay updated on IT trends and have the desire to push the boundaries of human knowledge.

Škoda IT

Our IT department knows very well that what is advanced today will be outdated tomorrow. That’s why we constantly develop new and better solutions.

IT work is built on unique projects. Whether it's the development of electric vehicles, where we continually push the boundaries of the automotive industry, or work with virtual reality, where we are among European technological leaders. The footprints of Škoda IT can be found in almost every department—from technical development to production, sales, and employee care.

Technical Development

From the first sketch to the final tests. That’s how we would summarize the work of technical development, which plays a crucial role in the creation of every new Škoda Auto model.

At the heart of the department are teams of passionate professionals dedicated to each phase of vehicle development. Whether it’s the initial brief, planning, design, concept development, or the final crash tests and various trials, we always use the most advanced methods and technologies.

Engineering

This department is responsible for ensuring the smooth production of every vehicle. It all starts with the logistics of materials, parts, and components and ends with their assembly. But that’s not all. We design and implement new technologies to bring vehicle electronics to life, transfer insights from extensive analyses into car assembly, or even into a new paint shop. We pride ourselves on using the best technologies and continuously create new positions that cover a wide range of opportunities across various fields.

Stories from Škoda IT

There are no teachers. At 42 Prague, we learn from each other

From how far away do people arrive to join Škoda Auto? John Brian Macera Castilla came all the way from Peru to apply to 42 Prague institute, a coding school co-founded by Škoda Auto, with the ambition to one day join the Škoda Auto IT. His dream is already in the making as he joined SAP GCC - FIC 4 team working with the SAP© as an intern. How did he navigate his experience with the cultural shift followed by a major career change?

Soon we will be hiring not only people, but also their trained AI sets

Mojmír Barák is a technology enthusiast and a big fan of artificial intelligence. As a logistics systems coordinator, he strives to integrate AI into all processes where its use makes sense. At the same time, he would like to manage the entire logistics world of Škoda Auto through data. 'We want to have a data overview across the entire logistics process. This will allow us to make decisions much faster and more efficiently,' he says.

Starting out at 42 Prague feels like stepping into an IT jungle

Gabriela has always loved studying languages and exploring new cultures. Back in high school, while working a summer job as a shepherd, she stumbled upon the book titled Tao Te Ching, which sparked her interest in Chinese. These days, though, she’s focused on different languages – such as C, C++, and others. She uses them to code as a student at the 42 Prague coding institute. At the same time, she works at Škoda Auto as a Cloud Application Security Specialist. How did she make the leap from the humanities to IT? And has she ever read Tao Te Ching in Chinese?

"Škoda encourages its employees to actively educate themselves. At the same time, you also get access to technological innovations that you can test and see if they are worth implementing in the Škoda Auto environment."
