Team
Employee testimonials
Donka Atanasova
System Validation Department Manager
I am proud to be part of a team where I have the opportunity to develop personally and professionally. As a team, we are part of technological progress and evolution, but the thing that has never changed over the years is the curiosity, inspiration and thirst for development.
Krum Markov
Global Engineering Manager- Test Tools and Methods
What I appreciate a lot at Visteon is the development of people - something every self-respecting company should have. Our Sofia office is an example of how many people have joined and grown as automotive engineers at Visteon. And I myself started 13 years ago as an intern, working in diverse teams and an environment that encourages me to develop and be effective in my daily duties. I have the opportunity to work on new technologies and innovative products, travel and visit different places meeting interesting people. All these years at Visteon have brought me a lot of positive emotions, achievements and friendships that I value very much.
Gergana Bachvarova
Senior Test Engineer
I had the opportunity to be part of many interesting automotive projects and work with people from different countries. The biggest challenge for me was to find a way to build on my knowledge and skills from previous projects and use them in new ones. Sometimes this involved new technical skills, other times it was developing my communication skills in my daily activities with people from different cultures.
Leonora Tsvetanova
Lead Test Engineer
I remember my first steps in validation when all testing was done manually and software deliveries were every 3 months. Going through various stages of automation, we now have absolutely automated testing systems with cameras, robots and artificial intelligence. Today, we have constant integration and validation and I am proud to have been part of this dynamic yet drastic development.
Vladimir Kamburov
Lead Test Engineer
During the many years I have spent at Visteon, the dynamic and creative spirit in the validation department has always made me feel satisfied. The team is dedicated and the experience and knowledge gained over the years is passed on. This is the thing that is a prerequisite for the success of the company.
Vladimir Vichev
Technical Professional Protocol Team
Since joining Visteon, not only have I developed professionally, but more importantly, I've learned how to value my colleagues' opinions and how important it is to learn and not be afraid of challenges.
Victor Rashev
Test Automation Tool
I became part of Visteon 20 years ago and today, I am still as motivated as when I started. I am learning new things and have the opportunity to develop constantly. I like the diversity of people in the office and being part of a great team. I am proud of our projects and the progress we have made over the years. The last 20 years have gone by fast, but I am motivated for the next ones to come.

Extra insights
The company's key products and services are:
Our products are classified into 7 categories:
- Instrument clusters
- Infotainment
- Displays
- Head-up displays
- Telematics
- Domain controller
- Electrification innovative technologies
Instrument panels
Every new product we develop expresses our desire to present the most important information for the driver in an understandable and pleasant way.
The engineering work on a dashboard involves very careful analysis of critical functionality so that we can select materials, design, hardware circuitry and software to ensure timely and reliable warnings when a problem occurs in any of the vehicle's systems.
Displays
Most of the LCD displays in cars are flat, rectangular and low resolution. However, as cockpit electronics become an intelligent mobile digital assistant, we have a greater need for larger displays with higher resolution and more attractive designs.
New generation products are curved and offer high resolution and contrast at much larger sizes than current displays.
Visteon is one of the largest suppliers of automotive displays to the industry and has many years of experience in critical aspects of automotive electronics development such as crash safety, long life, resistance to extreme temperatures and vibration.
Integrated Solutions
Modern in-cabin electronics solutions are focusing more on architectures with multiple displays (dash, center, rear and head-up displays) managed by a single controller with two powerful processors for data processing and graphics.
This combination enables faster and more secure information processing, highly configurable content presentation, wireless software upgrades, and all at a lower cost and with less power consumption.
Electrification
Projects in the field of electrification complement the Bulgarian center's rich portfolio, which also includes products and systems for driver assistance, next-generation smart displays and integrated solutions for optimal mobile vehicle connectivity and driving safety.
These include the market's first smart battery management systems, efficient electrical power distribution systems enabling high-speed vehicle charging and a so-called "power electronics" three-in-one solution that combines the control and distribution systems as well as the electric vehicle's power converter.
The company's portfolio includes products for the next generation of electric vehicles that increase battery capacity, reliability and life, contributing to high vehicle efficiency, safety and reliability.
Here, more than 700 engineers manage the complete product cycle, locally designing, developing and testing more than 250 global and regional high-tech projects that support the transformation of today's vehicles in terms of digitalization and electromobility.
What we believe:
- As a global leader in automotive solutions, it is important to us that our customers receive high-quality, innovative products that add exceptional value.
- All Visteon employees are leaders -whether they manage people. Leadership is a choice!
- Communication is a key success factor. We work together and communicate effectively to achieve good results.
- We boldly encourage continuous improvement and development for every employee.
- We see difficulties as challenges and prerequisites for success.
- On a daily basis, we foster an inclusive environment that ensures equal opportunity for our employees, customers, suppliers and the community at large.
