Headquartered in Lippstadt, Germany, HELLA (operating as part of the FORVIA group) is a leading global automotive supplier specializing in high-performance lighting systems and vehicle electronics. The company operates across three primary business segments: Lighting (advanced LED headlamps, interior ambient lighting, and signal lamps), Electronics (radar sensors, energy and battery management systems, and body electronics), and Lifecycle Solutions (independent aftermarket parts distribution and workshop diagnostic equipment). By supplying original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and secondary automotive markets worldwide, it supports the transition toward automated driving, vehicle electrification, and digital mobility infrastructure.

Analyzing, clarifying, and defining the lighting requirements based on the existing specifications and existing CAD data in coordination with involved bodies. Calculating and defining optical geometries, e. g. Head Lamp, Rear Combination Lamp components, Signal functions for series development and preliminary development close to series production, using photometric simulations, evaluating and forwarding the results to Technical Design and/or to other internal and external positions and deriving any design measures that may be necessary.

Providing data to downstream users, complying with Hella data security requirements. Supporting preparation of light samples, photometric components and prototypes in agreement with the superior and the posts involved. Actively participating in product evaluation, problem resolution and feedback relevant information into the design process.

Supporting optic design activities, and support project team activities. Participating in customer meetings and homogeneity evaluations under the guidance of superior. Proposing innovative optics concepts and timely converting into patents.
