Required
You are excited by L2+ feature behaviour, human–automation interaction, and new AI Driver capabilities.
You can use Python professionally and are comfortable with SQL or similar large-scale analysis tools.
You communicate clearly, document decisions well, and can own ambiguous problems from concept through evidence and recommendation.
ML, computer vision, motion planning, SOTIF, safety validation, or modern AI-tooling experience is advantageous.
Direct automotive OEM experience is helpful but not essential.
🌱 Not ticking every box? That’s totally okay! If you’re passionate about autonomy and keen to learn, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every requirement.
