Be Part of a Growing Team

At devDept, we place huge value on individuality and the personal and professional development of our employees.

Creativity and a willingness to embrace new ideas are at the core of our work.

What You Need to Know

  • Our Business
  • Our Culture
  • Our People

Based in Bologna, Italy, the company was founded in 2006 with the commitment to deliver easy-to-use CAD software components to the engineering industry. The development team consists of a unique mix of programmers, mathematicians, and engineers.

devDept products are used to add CAD capabilities to .NET applications. For example, a structural design program would benefit from a 3D view of beam structures, as well as providing the ability to select items directly in the 3D view to simplify workflows. It may also need boolean operations to cut structural members, automatic 2D drawings generation and export to CAD neutral file formats for the actual beam production.

devDept software components are employed across a broad scope of industries such as aerospace, manufacturing, construction, mining and healthcare. Customers include TRUMPF, Siemens, Amada, Porsche, Honda, Boeing, Rolls-Royce, CLAAS, Samsung, Mitutoyo, Komatsu, and Hexagon.

We don’t believe in status or strict hierarchies. Open doors, honest communication, no red tape and innovative approaches form the core of our philosophy. Each individual is unique and we encourage everyone to unlock and fulfil their own potential. Even though we are all different, we share one thing in common: we all work well together in a team to ensure that everyone has the chance to use and develop individual strengths to the fullest extent. Through our teamwork and philosophy, we continue to generate a unique working culture and create true value for our customers.

It is essential for us that our employees enjoy coming to work and are comfortable here, and with this in mind, we have regular team building events, often enjoy a post-work drink together in town, offer free meals and fresh fruit in our canteen, and do everything we can to ensure that our colleagues feel at home here.

Diversity is our strength – that is our motto. Our employees come from a broad spectrum of academic backgrounds. Whether from backgrounds in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics, or industrial engineering, recruits from all disciplines find their way to us, bringing with them valuable knowledge and expertise. As well as specialists, we are also always on the lookout for all-rounders who look beyond conventional disciplines to forge synergies between multiple subjects and skills.

If you find a role that fits your background and aspirations, tell us about yourself in your application. Complement your CV with a cover letter showing what opportunities are of the most interest to you, highlighting your strengths, and making your motivation for applying crystal clear. If your experience doesn’t entirely match any open positions, but you trust that your expertise may be valuable to us, don’t hesitate to apply.

As we receive a large quantity of CVs weekly, please allow us up to two weeks to review your application. If your application demonstrates the skill set we are looking for, we will reach out to you and schedule a telephone interview.

A telephone interview helps us learn more about your talents and experience. We believe that a great match is a two-way street, so the initial telephone interview is both your opportunity to discover more about working with us and our chance to get to know you.

Assuming the initial interview goes well, we will invite you to a formal interview at our office. Our interview process is designed to test your technical knowledge and to find out more about your personality, as well as your experience and motivation.

If we’re still on the same page following an in-person meeting, we will ask you to complete a test project, the purpose of which is to both delve into your knowledge and to demonstrate to you the real experience of working with us, which will also make the transition as you join the company more smooth.

Your test will be assessed by professionals with whom you may well end up working closely. From time to time, we ask candidates to fix some issues or bugs in the test project. Communication with the team during the test project is also an important criterion for us. Following this stage, we provide every candidate with feedback on their completed test.

If we think you’d be great at devDept, we’ll make an offer and iron out any other details, such as relocation issues.
