Solution Architect

Project description

DXC Luxoft is one of the major software services companies worldwide. In particular, we develop high-quality software in automotive industry for most famous car makers. The software inside a vehicle was traditionally expected to be a very controlled and self-contained environment. Equipping cars with perception and machine intelligence changes a lot in the overall picture of the vehicle manufacturer. DXC Luxoft's goal is to empower our customers, with deep domain knowledge and smart solutions, to develop cars of the future.
