Abhishek Sin ha, Chief Operating Officer(COO) told Business Line the center is set up as part of the expansion plan in Europe and Eastern Europe. It will provide services in the areas of high-tech and embedded technologies. “We chose Poland because the government is very enabling and is strategically better for the business, and the country has a great talent pool,” he added.
LLTS is seeking to tap into the local engineering talent pool for many mission-critical global programs, and will work with the local administration and the academia to further develop the local ecosystem, Sin ha said.
The company plans to hire up to 300 engineers in the next three years for the center. It will also utilize its in-house Global Engineering Academy (GEA) to enable employees to res kill and upskill their domain knowledge and align it to customer requirements, while exploring collaboration opportunities with AGH University Kraków, Kraków University of Technology and UK-based Coventry University to expand the engineering talent pool in Poland.
Currently, the center is about 1,500 square meters and can house 16–170 people. Sin ha said the company will start expanding the center and even invest in innovation labs at the center as a part of company strategy.
This state-of-the-art center will mark its expansion into Eastern Europe, contributing to the growth of regional economy, delivering cutting-edge technology, expanding workforce, and support major projects through its innovative engineering processes. The ER&D center will cater to several major customers in Europe and North America, including a U.S. based automotive Tier 1 company.
