Born in the Czech Republic 🇨🇿, educated also in Canada 🍁, and working in India 🇮🇳, she excels in cross-cultural communication and technical expertise. "Even though electromobility is increasingly being discussed, countries like India will continue to produce internal combustion engines for a long time to come," Linda states. This insight is crucial in her role managing the EA211 engine series for the Indian market. Linda’s path began at the Secondary Industrial School in Liberec, followed by a bachelor's and master's degree from the Technical University of Liberec, specializing in engine design. Her academic excellence led to a pivotal internship at Škoda Auto. Studying at Conestoga College in Canada, Linda experienced practical career preparation. "My English improved a lot," she notes, valuing the career training and job interview techniques. At Škoda Auto, Linda’s responsibilities expanded when Volkswagen transferred certain engine development tasks, granting her team more autonomy. Managing projects in India involves unique challenges. "The driving style itself is different due to the long traffic jams," she explains. Frequent visits to Pune provide insights into these market-specific nuances. Linda loves sports, being a competitive finswimmer for almost 25 years 🏊♀️. "I still try to do as much sport as possible," she shares, emphasizing a balanced lifestyle alongside a demanding job. 🏋️♀️ Linda's work advances internal combustion engine development and fosters international collaboration.

This is how research transforms into reality at the largest Czech car manufacturer. 🚗✨ https://lnkd.in/esxxxbwQ #ŠkodaAuto #exploremore #PhDStudents #Research #Innovation

Does an IT specialist ever truly finish their work? During regular hours, perhaps. However, sometimes duties are so crucial and potential damages so significant that an emergency intervention is required. Our IT specialists often face unexpected situations during these interventions. For instance, our colleague Jan Koudela had to leave his ordered risotto to address an urgent issue. The data transfer between two systems had stopped, risking production downtime and potential million-dollar losses. Thanks to his quick response, the issue was resolved successfully. Jan values feedback, which motivates him for future challenges. When not on duty, he balances his work and personal life with wellness stays and hotel accommodations using his benefit card. 💚 Click here https://lnkd.in/eynCEGFC to read about the problem-solving process, a glimpse into our SAP GCC, and the benefits that make it worthwhile. ☺️
