Automotive engineering is a branch of Vehicle engineering. It incorporates elements of mechanical, electrical, electronic, software and safety engineering as applied to the design, manufacture and operation of automobiles, buses and trucks and engineering subsystems.

Automotive engineers are involved in almost every aspect of designing cars and trucks. Broadly speaking automotive engineers are separated into three main streams: product engineering, development engineering and manufacturing engineering.

- Product engineer (also called design engineer), that would design components/systems (i.e brake engineer and battery engineer).

- Development engineer, that engineers the attributes of the automobile.

- Manufacturing engineer determines how to make it. A Development Engineer is a job function within Automotive Engineering, in which the development engineer has the responsibility for coordinating delivery of the engineering attributes of a complete automobile (bus, car, truck, etc.).

The Development Engineer is also responsible for organising automobile level testing, validation, and certification. Components and systems are designed and tested individually by the Product Engineer. The final evaluation though, has to be conducted at the automobile level to evaluate system to system interactions. As an example, the audio system (radio) needs to be evaluated at the automobile level. Interaction with other electronic components can cause interference.

The design of modern cars is typically handled by a large team of designers and engineers from many different disciplines. As part of the product development effort the team of designers will work closely with teams of design engineers responsible for all aspects of the vehicle. These engineering teams include: chassis, body and trim, powertrain, electrical and production. The design team under the leadership of the design director will typically comprise of an exterior designer, an interior designer (usually referred to as stylists), and a color and materials designer. A few other designers will be involved in detail design of both exterior and interior.
