Xiaomi built a car and settled in Beijing? Official website's multiple job recruitment information reveals the workplace.

After officially announcing its entry into the automobile industry for more than two months, Xiaomi seems to be accelerating its pace. On June 14, official website of Xiaomi Company released the recruitment information of several positions related to autonomous driving.

Specifically, the recruitment positions involve data platform, vehicle infrastructure, decision planning, millimeter wave algorithm, development tools, front-end platform development, embedded software, control, perception, high-precision maps, simulation platforms and so on. And before every recruitment notice, there is a word "urgent". In addition, the recruitment information shows that the above work addresses are all Haidian, Beijing.

The release of the above recruitment information has also been interpreted by the industry as "Xiaomi R&D Center Headquarters is about to settle in Beijing".

However, the above speculation has not been confirmed by Xiaomi.

Regarding the recruitment of a group of self-driving related personnel in Beijing, the insiders believe that Beijing has an early layout in the field of self-driving and is relatively rich in technology companies and talents related to self-driving, but Beijing is not the only choice for Xiaomi Auto R&D Center.

Earlier, a multinational auto parts supplier revealed that Xiaomi is planning to establish a research and development center in Anting, Shanghai.

It is worth noting that while starting to recruit Beijing autopilot engineers, Xiaomi Group also invested in two companies related to autopilot technology in Shanghai.

On June 3rd, Xiaomi participated in the D-round investment of Mu Zong Science and Technology with US$ 654.38+US$ 90 million in Zhangjiang High-tech Park. On June 8th, Xiaomi, Gao Ling and Meituan * * * jointly invested in the D-round financing of Shanghai Laser Radar Company Jose Technology, with the amount exceeding 300 million US dollars.

In fact, since Xiaomi Group officially announced its entry into the car-making business on March 30 this year, many places including Beijing, Shanghai and Wuhan have been reported to be in contact with Xiaomi Group, hoping that Xiaomi Automobile will settle down.

However, although it is still unclear who is building a car, Xiaomi is accelerating the pace of building a car. Since the news of building a car was announced, Lei Jun, the chairman of Xiaomi Group, visited everywhere and frequently went in and out of various OEMs, including BYD, SAIC-GM-Wuling and Great Wall, and became the "gossip object" of Xiaomi.

"Support the development of Xiaomi's automobile business, also cooperate in the automobile field, and are negotiating projects". 13 In June, at the 202 1 China Auto Chongqing Forum, Wang Chuanfu, Chairman and President of BYD Co., Ltd., publicly stated, "We have a good cooperative relationship with Xiaomi Lei. We have a large number of OEM Xiaomi mobile phones, which is a strategic cooperative relationship. In the future, BYD will support the development of Xiaomi Automobile. "

On the evening of June 8, Lei Jun also appeared in the R&D Center of Haval Automobile in Baoding Great Wall. Although neither side has announced the itinerary, it is considered to be related to Xiaomi's OEM plan.

However, in March this year, both Great Wall and Xiaomi denied the news that "Great Wall will contract Xiaomi electric vehicles and provide engineering consulting services".

Recruit personnel related to autonomous driving, negotiate automobile business with BYD, and enter and leave the Great Wall R&D Center. Although Xiaomi has not yet announced the final way to build a car, it is generally believed in the industry that OEM is a more feasible solution to quickly launch products.

"Xiaomi has no problem whether it is a self-built factory or a foundry. However, Xiaomi needs to grab time to build a car, and if he builds a factory himself, he will not be able to spare time. It has been repeatedly emphasized that Xiaomi entered the automobile industry late compared with new forces such as Tesla and Weilai. The most important thing at the moment is to launch the product as soon as possible, which is the core of the work. " Earlier, Weimar chief data officer May Song Lin said in an interview.

Zhu Huarong, Chairman of Changan Automobile, said frankly that the production technology of the automobile industry is complex, and the upstream and downstream supply chains are complex, and there are huge risks in every link. Scientific and technological innovation companies should see the complexity of traditional manufacturing systems and make good use of these resources with the help of their own software advantages, so as to reduce costs, improve efficiency and reduce risks.

On June 9, at the Yabuli China Entrepreneur Forum, Wang Chuanfu also publicly shouted Lei Jun, "Losing 654.38 billion yuan is a trivial matter, and wasting three years is a major event".

Looking at the current tide of new cars, Weilai, Tucki and Ideality are all expanding, and Baidu and 360 have also announced cross-border car making. How to master the first-Mover advantage is very important for Xiaomi.

It is worth noting that in order to speed up the pace of building cars, Xiaomi once hired Hu Yinan, president of Geely Research Institute, at a sky-high price of "equity plus salary of 65.438 billion yuan".

Although Hu Zhengnan denied it as "false news" on his social platform account on June 2, it was later reported that Geely Research Institute did change coaches.
