Porsche Engineering Group GmbH, which is the holding company for the engineering service provider, maintains its headquarters at the Porsche Development Center in Weissach. This is the control center for its operations and marketing activities for the Group’s long-standing and highly regarded customer development projects. Processes and structures at the Weissach Development Center are designed to make its full expertise and facilities available for customer projects, from individual stations to the testing grounds. A symbiotic relationship between Porsche Engineering and the Weissach Development Center ensures that our engineers have invaluable OEM experience and knowledge at their command, giving them an overall perspective that is crucial for development projects.

Porsche Engineering Services GmbH is headquartered in Bietigheim-Bissingen, which is very close to the Porsche sites in Weissach and Zuffenhausen. In addition to project offices, this location has test facilities and laboratories to supplement the ones at the Development Center in Weissach, including thermodynamic and electric motor testing systems. Porsche Engineering’s own Center for Electromagnetic Compatibility offers extensive opportunities to pursue EMC-related developments. Tests can also be conducted for customers from numerous industries besides the automotive sector.

In close proximity to the Development Center in Weissach, Mönsheim offers services in the field of electrical and electronic engineering, function and software development, and chassis systems. This site focuses its activities on automotive mega-trends for “cars of the future,” including autonomous and assisted driving systems, e-mobility, and connectivity.

Porsche Engineering’s project office in Wolfsburg offers its engineering services to local customers. Our employees here not only boast engineering expertise in electrical and electronic system development, but are also specialists in designing and developing modules, assemblies, and sophisticated individual components.

Leipzig is more than just a production site for Porsche. So too does Porsche Engineering’s project office also play a key role in Porsche’s customer development. This manifests itself in Leipzig with a somewhat different focus, namely one on production.

Our engineers in this sector work on overall and cross-sectional vehicle projects as diverse as package creation, prototype process chains from planning to completion, vehicle testing, overall responsibility for acoustic and vibration-related processes, aerodynamics, and thermal management, as well as development quality, complete vehicle management, and test rig operations for both test vehicles and complete vehicles.

Vehicle body experts develop innovative solutions throughout the entire development process, directing their focus on vehicle exteriors, interiors, safety, and surface development. They work on projects from the concept and design to simulation, testing, and production maturity.

Electronics have become a key technology in automotive engineering. The close networks now formed by car functions and control units is resulting in the creation of complex systems that place the highest demands on expertise in product engineering processes, development methods, data management, and diagnostics. Apart from automotive engineering, our experts work on system and software development as well as on electric drive systems, hardware development, EMC, project management, and high-voltage safety.

Our engineers are very well versed in sports car development from the initial concept to production. In this regard, they provide assistance with the development of complete chassis, including all components such as steering, brake, damper, and control systems, as well as wheels, tires, pedal systems, axles, and assembly parts.

Porsche Engineering develops all types of drivetrains, whether conventional, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or fully electric. Focal points here include virtual vehicle development as well as design and testing.

Work in this field focuses on mega-trends in the automotive industry, including autonomous driving and driver assistance systems, electromobility, and connectivity. Our team of experts uses cutting-edge software engineering tools and processes to create brand-specific functions exclusive to Porsche.
