The automotive sector is undergoing its most radical transformation in decades. As vehicles become software-defined, connected, electric, and autonomous, AutoTech companies require talent that understands both advanced technology and real-world automotive environments. Live Digital specialises in recruiting professionals who enable innovation across modern mobility platforms.
AutoTech refers to the technologies transforming how vehicles are designed, manufactured, operated, and experienced. It spans everything from connected car platforms and autonomous driving systems to electric vehicle software, fleet optimisation, and mobility-as-a-service solutions.
Key AutoTech areas include:
As vehicles evolve into connected, data-generating platforms, the demand for talent capable of working across software, data, hardware, and regulatory frameworks has increased sharply. Live Digital supports AutoTech organisations by connecting them with professionals who can build, scale, and secure these complex systems.
The UK AutoTech ecosystem is anchored by several major automotive and technology hubs. The Midlands – particularly Birmingham, Coventry, Warwick, and Derby – remains the heart of UK automotive engineering, supporting EV development, advanced manufacturing technology, and connected vehicle platforms. These regions attract AutoTech companies working across software-defined vehicles and intelligent mobility systems.
In the South East, London plays a central role in mobility platforms, automotive SaaS, fleet technology, and data-driven transport solutions. Oxford and Cambridge support AutoTech innovation at the intersection of AI, robotics, autonomous systems, and sensor technology, with strong links to automotive research and R&D.
The North West – including Manchester and Liverpool – contributes through mobility analytics, logistics technology, and fleet optimisation platforms. Meanwhile, Leeds and Sheffield support AutoTech through advanced manufacturing, materials science, and industrial data expertise.
Scotland’s Glasgow and Edinburgh strengthen the UK AutoTech landscape through smart mobility, transport analytics, and sustainable vehicle technology. These regions represent key hiring markets and natural internal-link opportunities across your location pages.
AutoTech demands a rare combination of digital engineering expertise and automotive domain knowledge. At Live Digital, we recruit software engineers, platform developers, embedded systems specialists, and cloud engineers who build the systems powering connected vehicles, EV platforms, and mobility services. These professionals work across real-time data processing, vehicle connectivity, and scalable automotive SaaS platforms.
Data is fundamental to modern AutoTech. We support hiring for data engineers, data scientists, and machine learning specialists who work with vehicle telemetry, sensor data, geospatial information, and predictive models. Their work enables route optimisation, predictive maintenance, driver behaviour analysis, and autonomous system development.
Product leadership is another critical area. We recruit product managers, product owners, and technical programme managers who understand automotive lifecycles, safety requirements, and regulatory constraints. These individuals translate complex vehicle and mobility requirements into scalable digital products. UX designers and human-machine interface specialists also play a vital role in shaping in-vehicle experiences and driver interaction.
Operationally, AutoTech businesses depend on specialists in cybersecurity, functional safety, systems integration, compliance, and testing. Alongside these roles, we support hiring across commercial, partnerships, customer success, and growth functions – particularly where AutoTech platforms are delivered as subscription-based or SaaS solutions to OEMs, fleet operators, and mobility providers.
AutoTech operates within safety-critical, highly regulated environments. We understand these constraints and prioritise candidates who can deliver innovation without compromising reliability or compliance.
