Job description

We are MOTOR Ai. Our mission is to make Level 4 autonomous driving a reality in Germany and beyond. By combining state-of-the-art AI with the expertise of our multidisciplinary team, we are poised to introduce the first solution of its kind in Germany that is eligible for certification on European roads. Since 2017, we have been steadfastly pursuing a single goal: to shape a future that is already in motion.

Tasks

• Developing low-level solutions and features specifically tailored for autonomous vehicle sensor suites
• Implementing and debugging sensor drivers and communication protocols, including TCP, UDP, and RTS
• Managing hardware/software integration, vehicle parametrization, and comprehensive in-vehicle testing and debugging
• Participating in the architectural design and implementation of robust software for autonomous systems
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to define and design high-level sensor requirements
• Contributing to the continuous creation and refinement of software development processes
• Assisting electrical and mechanical engineers with the installation and integration of electronic equipment in vehicles
• Ensuring thorough documentation of all development, implementation, and integration phases

Requirements

• Degree in Computer Engineering, Automotive, Mechatronics, Robotics, or a related field of study
• Professional experience (at least 3 years) in Embedded Linux software development and proficiency in C, C++, Python, and Shell scripting
• Strong understanding of microprocessors, microcontrollers, and complex electrical system architectures
• Solid expertise in networking and communication systems, including infrastructure and network programming
• Knowledge of sensor basics (LiDAR, Radar, Camera, GNSS) and ideally experience with time synchronization (e.g., PTP/GPTP, latency, timestamps)
• Familiarity with ROS, Docker, and DevContainers, as well as experience working with Agile development methodologies
• Practical field-testing experience with complex systems (robotics, autonomous platforms) and knowledge of ISO 26262 or safe design approaches
• High level of enthusiasm for autonomous driving technology and a proactive interest in the latest industry developments
• Business-level English; German is an advantage
• Genuine team spirit: working in teams that drive change forward – no matter how complex and extensive the projects are
• Flexible working hours – with room for the realities of life (parenthood, caregiving responsibilities, voluntary work, etc.)
• Whether it's fashion, beauty, travel or culture – you'll receive numerous discounts through our partner Corporate Benefits
• Social relevance: We work on solutions that have game-changing qualities
• Subsidy for public transport tickets
• Your professional development is important to us – that's why we cover the costs of further education and training
• Excellent transport links: attractive location in Wedding with very good public transport connections
• Focus on people: Our strength lies in our diversity. We respect each other for who we are

Are you excited by our vision and ideas? Do you see autonomous driving as bringing benefits for everyone?

In our new offices, we place great importance on getting to know one another and working together to drive our vision forward. Our international team is growing and working together on this exciting mission. Face-to-face collaboration is the key to success, which is why we have decided not to become a fully remote company.
