Otis Innovation | Engineering

There's never been a more exciting time to be an Otis engineer
Otis engineers play a crucial role in creating the future
Otis has a long legacy of product excellence and innovation that has shaped our industry − and we take great pride in that. In many ways, our success is due to the achievements of our engineers. We continue to take big leaps to build on our legacy and bring our customers, the riding public, as well as our Otis team into the future.
Walk along with Ricardo Muñoz
Join Ricardo Muñoz, Senior Vice President of Engineering, in kicking off 2023 Engineers Week. Hear about the feats of engineering past and how we continue to build upon that legacy of innovation through our new products and technologies, and the work our engineers do every day.


“Working at Otis as an engineer is a mission that everyone understands and values. As we take the mechanical elevator to its current connected elevator status, we are challenging engineers to solve problems of speed, rise, acoustics and vibration. Where else can you offer engineers an opportunity to give people freedom to connect and thrive in a taller, faster, smarter world.
As an engineer, if that doesn't get you excited, I don't know what will.”
-Judy Marks, Chair, Chief Executive Officer and President

We believe in the power of connectivity – and every day, we bring it to life: From building more integrated technology to creating cohesive solution ecosystems.
Did you know?
- Our Otis Integrated Dispatch™ Application Programming Interface (API) allows robots to communicate with Otis elevators – and ultimately enter, ride and exit elevators without human intervention.
- Otis ONE™, our Internet of Things platform enables numerous solutions and experiences for customers and the riding public like remote service, real-time information on demand, and cloud connectivity to inform, entertain, and support passengers during their ride.
- Our destination dispatching solution Compass® 360 is designed to optimize the transit of people for maximum efficiency and solve the equivalent of the “rideshare problem” within a building by grouping passengers traveling to the same or nearby floors – getting them to their destination faster and limiting the number of stops.
