Automotive software development as a craftmanship

This is the era of software-defined vehicles, a time in which vehicles, infrastructure, and road users are connected. Safety, sustainability, and autonomous driving are essential. With software from ICT Automotive, topics like Cyber Security, Quality, and Functional Safety are guaranteed.

Automotive software development as a craftmanship

The role of embedded software in the Automotive sector is becoming ever more important. Automotive Software has to be safe, secure, and meet high-quality standards. These developments lead to an exponentially growing demand for in-vehicle software, backend, and Cloud solutions. ICT is the ideal partner in this domain. We collaborate strongly with OEMs, leading global Tier 1s and silicon providers, who are changing their software strategies rapidly.

With over 30 years of experience in the Automotive sector, ICT has built a tremendous track record within the traditional domains of Automotive with projects in the areas of Body, Powertrain, Chassis, and Infotainment. Software development is in our DNA, our passion. Over the years, we have elevated software development to craftsmanship, a distinctive specialty.

From the moment the software-defined vehicle arose, ICT increased its focus on Autonomous, Connected, Electric, and Shared (ACES). Functional Safety, Cyber Security, and Quality/ASPICE are key elements in our way of working. ICT was already involved in functional safe software development compliant with IEC 61508, the predecessor of the ISO 26262 standard. We have accumulated a wide variety of expertise in this area, from ASIL A up to ASIL D level.

ICT Automotive focuses on the increasing importance and demand for cybersecurity expertise.
We have been a development partner for OEMs in connectivity programs for over a decade. Transforming the vehicle into an IoT device, fully connected and secure. ICT is your trusted partner for cybersecurity-related challenges, and realizes the high-security demands by applying proven technologies that comply with the applicable standards and regulations like UNECE WP.29 and ISO21434.

We drive our activities from our TISAX-certified development centers, offering the required competencies against the desired cost structure. We execute our projects with a result-driven attitude, following an Agile or waterfall approach.

Next to our SW service, we offer the Motar platform as an ultimate product for the small and mid-size OEM. Model your automotive software with MATLAB/Simulink. Run your models with Motar directly on your commercial off-the-shelf automotive target, without any need for embedded software development skills.

We look forward to shaping the future of mobility together.
