(Senior) Embedded Systems Engineer - Operator Interaction (all genders)

Join us as a (Senior) Embedded Systems Engineer (all genders) in our Operator Interaction team and help shape the future of autonomous mobility!

To realise the vision of autonomous ridepooling, the Vehicle Integration domain develops the tools and applications needed to operate an autonomous fleet and deliver seamless passenger experiences. We address critical questions like: How do passengers authenticate themselves? How do we ensure cabin safety during boarding and the ride? What content creates an informative and reassuring journey? Our work combines fleet operations technology with passenger-facing services to enable autonomous ridepooling at scale.

The Operator Interaction Team builds the software layer that connects autonomous vehicles to the remote operators who monitor and operate them. The team owns everything from real-time telemetry to remote commands that allow operators to activate vehicles, control climate, lock doors, and respond to on-road incidents. The work spans both embedded vehicle systems and cloud backends, across multiple vehicle platforms, and includes safety-relevant features subject to autonomous vehicle regulations.
