itemis and HELLA cooperate strategically in automotive system engineering

• itemis AG supports HELLA GmbH & Co. KGaA in systems engineering projects of ASIL-C and ASIL-D classification
• close cooperation of the partners in the strategic training of system engineers
• sustainable development of employees with the targeted use of methods and tools

HELLA GmbH & Co. KGaA and itemis AG enter into a strategic partnership in order to jointly position themselves as innovation leaders for automotive systems engineering in a highly safety-critical environment.

As part of the partnership, itemis is strengthening HELLA’s systems engineering teams in series projects of ASIL-C and ASIL-D classification.

Both partners also cooperate closely in the training of system engineers and the targeted use of methods and tools. The existing knowledge is further developed and expanded together. The skills of the employees are continuously developed. Establishing an internal community enables knowledge transfer beyond project boundaries.

"I am extremely pleased that we can not only actively support the HELLA colleagues in meeting the requirements for an ASIL-D compliant system development in series projects, but that we can also strategically take systems engineering to the next level here”. explains  Dr. Alexander Nyßen, Head of IoT Solutions at itemis AG.

Heiko Berk, Head of Quality and Product Safety in the Electronics division at HELLA, says: "I am firmly convinced that in Itemis we have found the right partner for the training and further education of our system engineers in the ASIL – C, D development environment. In this context, it is also important for us that our partners, in addition to a sound knowledge of the applicable processes and methods, also achieve demonstrable progress in ongoing projects. This is exactly what Itemis has demonstrated in recent months."
