Mercedes-Benz Group AG Global Capability Center (Bangalore)

Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India (MBRDI) in Bangalore is one of India's most prestigious automotive technology GCCs and one of Mercedes-Benz's most important engineering locations globally. Established in 1996, MBRDI has grown alongside the city to become a 5,500-engineer powerhouse where India teams have genuine product ownership over software deployed in production Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Engineers write embedded C/C++ code for engine control units, transmission controllers, and autonomous driving perception systems that power vehicles driven by customers globally.

The technological frontier at MBRDI today is autonomous driving and EV software. Autonomous driving teams develop computer vision algorithms, sensor fusion software, and decision-making systems enabling semi-autonomous highway driving in production Mercedes-Benz models. EV software engineering focuses on battery management system software, electric powertrain control, and energy management algorithms that maximise range in the EQ family. The MBUX AI system has significant India engineering contributions.

MBRDI targets 6,500 engineers by 2027, driven by the massive software engineering investment required to transition Mercedes-Benz from a hardware-first to a software-defined vehicle company. The Bagmane World Technology Centre campus provides excellent infrastructure, and MBRDI's reputation for engineering depth makes it one of Bangalore's most aspirational automotive employers.
