Why launch your career at accilium?
At accilium, you will help build something big. We move fast – and we will take you along on our journey working with top-tier clients and engaging in diverse projects. We foster an open team culture, place the highest value on your professional development, and always meet on equal footing.
You will work on one of the largest transformation programs in the automotive industry, supporting one of the world's leading automotive OEMs. Our projects focus on areas where engineering, product data, and vehicle software are being fundamentally transformed, ranging from the harmonization of engineering and IT landscapes to Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV) and the entire automotive value chain.
These initiatives come with complex challenges. Target architectures must be aligned across brands, domains, and numerous stakeholders while remaining stable over time. Legacy systems must be replaced in a structured way while business operations continue uninterrupted.

We ensure that architecture and implementation are aligned, decisions are well prepared, and progress remains transparent.
Together with your project team, you will take ownership of customer challenges from day one. You can always rely on leadership support, coaching, and continuous feedback to accelerate your development. We believe in full transparency when it comes to your career. Your progression all the way to Senior Consultant in the Automotive Practice is determined solely by your individual performance.
