DXC Technology has launched DXC Engineering within its Consulting & Engineering Services business.
The new unit brings together more than 11,000 engineers across 29 countries and builds on the digital engineering business created through DXC's acquisition of Luxoft.
It will focus on industries including financial services, automotive, manufacturing, telecommunications and energy. DXC Engineering will operate as a distinct service offering within Consulting & Engineering Services, which employs 40,000 people.
DXC Engineering combines industry expertise, partner relationships and AI-led engineering work. Its aim is to help clients move towards software-defined operations and adopt technologies such as automation and what DXC calls Physical AI.
Market focus
In financial services, the unit supports trading, risk, treasury, payments, digital banking and regulatory systems. DXC works with 17 of the world's top 20 banks, serves more than 350 banking and capital markets clients across 70 countries, and says it has the largest Murex implementation practice.
Automotive is another major focus. DXC says its software is used in more than 50 million vehicles worldwide and that it runs active programmes with European and other carmakers, as well as Tier-1 suppliers, through its AMBER software framework.
According to DXC, that framework can cut vehicle software development cycles by up to 50% and reduce infotainment costs by up to 30%. Beyond banking and automotive, the engineering business also works on telecom network modernisation, industrial engineering, smart manufacturing and AI-based operational systems.
The organisation operates across 51 delivery sites, with client-facing teams in North America, Continental Europe and APJMEA. DXC says it has delivered more than 3,000 projects for over 150 clients in its other focus industries.
Partner network
The strategy also centres on partnerships. DXC Engineering works with companies including NVIDIA, Murex and Temenos, alongside other industry platform providers and specialist technology firms.
These relationships span chip and AI computing suppliers, banking and trading software providers, and newer firms bringing sector-specific products into live environments. DXC's role is to integrate those systems with bespoke engineering work for large organisations.
The launch also signals a sharper emphasis on AI in physical systems, particularly where software interacts directly with hardware. DXC says this includes autonomous driving systems, factory production lines and telecom infrastructure.
Physical AI sits at the centre of its smart product work, covering systems that combine software, hardware and AI in real-world settings. In practice, that includes embedded computing and AI models designed for environments where systems must operate continuously and safely.
Examples cited by DXC include a trading risk engine, an autonomous driving stack and a real-time telecom network platform. These examples point to the sectors where the company believes engineering is becoming more central as products and operations rely more heavily on software.
Ramnath Venkataraman, President, Consulting & Engineering Services, DXC Technology, set out the rationale for the move.
"With DXC Engineering, we are making a deliberate bet and doubling down on DXC's unique engineering DNA. We are in the early stages of the software-defined era, and the time is now for customers to turn R&D into software-defined intelligent systems that will help them win in the marketplace. DXC Engineering is a signal to the market and to our customers that we are elevating the importance of our IP - both human and digital. Our customers look to DXC to design, build and operate intelligent systems at scale, especially in environments where failure is not an option, and DXC Engineering will accelerate that capability just at the moment it's needed most in the marketplace," he said.
