Cutting-edge display development
At ESAS, our strong team and years of experience enable us to develop compelling display solutions.
Continuous development of displays during series production:
After a new vehicle enters the market, electronic control units such as displays and the functions shown on them are continuously developed. A wide range of functions, such as the on-board computer and infotainment displays/navigation content, are presented to the customer on the driver information and infotainment screens.
In the ongoing development of various vehicle projects, we support the development process from the initial idea to series production. We work closely with control unit suppliers and all stakeholders at group level to ensure that the further developed functions are delivered to the customer in accordance with specifications and without errors. With over 10 years of experience in the sector and the successful support of projects through to the market launch of a vehicle, we have proven ourselves to be a partner of choice in this complex environment.
Development support for newly developed displays:
Our development support for newly developed displays for our customers spans various vehicle projects. Depending on requirements, functions are developed that can be used and further developed across projects, as well as deployed on a project-specific basis. This includes coordination with all interface partners, technical development and commissioning of functions following software implementation.
We can look back on many years of experience in the field of functional development. Starting with display content, such as icon controls, infotainment displays, range and fuel calculations, through to unit and diagnostic functions, we have been involved in the development of many areas and brought the corresponding functions to release readiness.
Areas of expertise
Function and requirements analysis
In order to make a new function visible on the displays, it is necessary to define which control unit is responsible for which functional content and what requirements are necessary for the specification. To do this, it is necessary to involve all parties concerned in order to clarify open conceptual issues and define communication channels between the control units.
Functional implementation
Once the requirements analysis has been completed, the specification work can begin. This is carried out in designated specification environments. In addition to technical finesse, creative work is also helpful here to ensure that the new requirements are defined as precisely and comprehensively as possible. This serves as a preventive measure with the aim of reducing any implementation questions from suppliers. In addition to the specification, the implementation of functions also includes a dual control check, which defines the completion of the implementation. Once successfully completed, the new requirements can be released.
Functional commissioning in the laboratory and in the test vehicle
Error analysis
As soon as anomalies are detected during testing, their causes must be investigated and evidence must be gathered, including documentation of measurements and references to specifications. It is important to provide all relevant evidence to the supplier, the party responsible for the anomaly, or the specifier in accordance with the process.
Error rectification
After a error has been reported, the necessary corrective action is tracked at the supplier or accompanied at the source to ensure that the problem and the proposed solution have been understood and fully implemented. Once the solution has been provided, it is revalidated in the laboratory and in test vehicles until no further anomalies occur.

Jobs in display development
As a young engineering company in the automotive industry, we aim to make an impact.
WORK AREA
Frequently asked questions
The basic requirement is a state-certified technician qualification or a university degree in engineering. In addition, you should have technical understanding and, ideally, some initial experience in the automotive industry. If the applicant can convince us with their technical expertise, their final grade is of secondary importance. A Class B driving licence would be desirable, as the work requires close cooperation with vehicles.
The work involved in the Automotive Displays projects varies depending on the position. Some of our team members are working on new types of cockpit displays, such as the passenger display, while others are further developing familiar cockpit displays, such as the central infotainment display. We also support our customers in the further development and maintenance of series projects, such as instrument clusters and head-up displays. We also have colleagues at ESAS who are involved in the development of new and existing functions for automotive control units. Functional testing on test racks and vehicles is part of the work involved in all projects.
It is important to us that new colleagues spend at least three months on site with the team. On the one hand, this promotes team spirit, and on the other hand, we believe this rule is important for comprehensive training. After that, depending on the task, it is possible to make individual home office arrangements. These are always discussed with the team so that there are no disadvantages for the other members and the work can be carried out in the best possible way.
