What you'll do

  • You lead SAE Level 4 AD system programs with a focus on HW/SW platform architecture, industrialization, and scalability.
  • You define and steer end-to-end AD platform concepts, covering compute hardware, sensors, middleware, operating systems, and AD software stacks.
  • You align system architecture, platform roadmaps, and development milestones across hardware, software, and system engineering teams.
  • You manage the integration of SoCs, sensors, vehicle E/E architectures, and middleware into coherent, series-capable AD platforms.
  • You ensure platform compliance with functional safety, cybersecurity, quality, and regulatory requirements (ASPICE, ISO 26262, ISO 21434, homologation).
  • You drive interface definitions and system decomposition, enabling modularity, supplier integration, and future scalability.
  • You coordinate SiL/HiL/vehicle integration activities with platform development to ensure early risk detection and maturity tracking.
  • You act as a key interface between OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, silicon providers, and software partners.
  • You provide program-level transparency on costs, timelines, risks, and technical trade-offs.
  • You support make-or-buy decisions, platform strategy discussions, and long-term technology roadmaps.

Who you are

  • You hold a university degree in Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
  • You have a profound understanding of HW/SW co-design for autonomous driving systems, including compute platforms, sensors, middleware, and operating systems.
  • You bring initial hands-on experience with AD ecosystems such as Autoware, Baidu Apollo, or NVIDIA platforms (e.g., DRIVE OS, Alpamayo).
  • You demonstrate strong leadership and communication skills to drive cross-functional teams, align external partners, and take ownership of platform decisions.
  • You are able to bridge system engineering, software development, and hardware constraints at program level.
  • You possess technical skills in C++ (11/14 or later), Python, Bash, and automotive communication protocols such as MQTT and SOME/IP.
  • You have solid knowledge of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, IPv6, VLANs, SOCKS proxies) relevant for in-vehicle and backend-connected AD platforms.
  • You bring experience with SiL and HiL environments as part of structured development and integration processes.
  • You have a proactive, structured, and solution-oriented mindset, combined with the ability to operate confidently in complex, multi-stakeholder programs.

Good to know

  • You join a global consulting environment with state-of-the-art telecom projects.
  • You collaborate with experts in future network technologies and innovative deployment models.
  • You grow continuously through training, certifications, and exposure to emerging technolgies.
  • You benefit from flexible working models and strong opportunities for career development.
