I came to Autocruise in 2012, as a quality engineer. There, I discovered a very dynamic environment, and a team cohesion, which put me at ease from the very beginning. Autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence, automatic learning, are words that fascinates as much as they strike. To be part of this development is for me an opportunity to expand my skills, and to broaden my knowledge within this major company of the automotive industry. I was also initiated to organic gardening, as we have a vegetable garden. This activity contributes to the nice work environment and captures the team spirit of the group.

After an important first job experience in a logistics platform of a French car manufacturer, I have been given the opportunity to implement the logistics department of Autocruise. My role evolves at the same time as the company. I was able to put into practice some new process, allowing us to answer with flexibility to the growing needs of our clients. And also to be surrounded by new team members, in a spirit of friendliness, trust, and professionalism.

Loïc ArzelZF Autocruise

Production support

Before working at Autocruise, I was a cabinetmaker. When I decided to go through a career change, I wanted to work either in modern technologies, or in relation to the automotive world. Luckily, the company combines both. I have been working for five years in the company, and I have seen it expand. Even though, the spirits of my beginnings remain, especially the team spirit. Cars are a passion, which can be dangerous. What I can find in my everyday work, is that I know that I contribute to make this sector safer, by manufacturing driver assistance systems for cars.
