Power up the user experience of vehicles with our automotive IT services

It is a branch of mechanical engineering that focuses on the design, development, and manufacture of vehicles (cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other). It covers a wide range of fields, such as powertrain design (engines, transmissions, and drivetrains), vehicle dynamics and control, vehicle aerodynamics, energy storage and conversion (fuel cells and batteries), as well as vehicle safety and crashworthiness.

The main aim of automotive engineering is to optimize the performance, fuel efficiency, safety, and emissions of vehicles, at the same time considering costs, manufacturability, and reliability. It is also concerned with the development of new technologies, such as electrified (battery, plug-in, electric, hybrid) and autonomous vehicles, safety-critical functionalities, or advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

Development of electrified vehicles: hybrid, plug-in, electric, and fuel cell.

Connectivity technologies for vehicles: vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-cloud (V2C), vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P), vehicle-to-everything (V2X).

Movements toward software-driven vehicles: bridging the next levels of automation, from mechanically driven vehicles to self-driving vehicles.

Vehicle-as-a-Service (VaaS): The development of cloud technologies and cloud-based software makes it possible to offer customers car ownership based on subscription models.

B2B and employment contracts primarily differ regarding the body of law to which the parties to both contracts are subject. For an employment contract, it is the Polish Labor Code, and for B2B contracts it is the Civil Code.

One of the more significant differences is the tax and social security payment liability. The employer covers these costs for an employee under an employment contract. In case of a B2B contract, the costs are borne by the contractor. 

In addition, an employee on an employment contract is provided with paid vacation (20 or 26 days depending on tenure), paid sick leave, and additional days off for occasional special situations (funerals, births, etc.). An individual on a B2B contract may be provided with paid vacation under the terms of a gentleman's agreement with the employer.

Both contracts also differ in their notice periods: for an employment contract, the notice period ranges from 2 weeks to 3 months, while for a B2B contract, it is flexible, but usually 1 month. 

It depends upon the role, its complexity, and technical requirements. Usually, it takes us between 5 and 15 working days to fill a vacancy.

It works both ways: Contractors monitor and report their hours directly in the client's ATS system, where at the end of each month managers approve them or conduct the hourly reports in their Spreadsheets (also approved by the managers).
