MOTOR Ai

Germany

MOTOR Ai is a Berlin-based deep-tech startup transforming the way autonomous driving works.  
We're not just building smarter vehicles — we’re developing one of the first certifiable Level 4 autonomy systems in Europe, grounded in cognitive neuroscience and capable of navigating real-world, complex traffic scenarios.

Our technology doesn’t just recognize — it reasons. That means safer, faster, and more adaptable autonomy — especially in environments where traditional AI struggles.

Join our diverse and fast-growing team of engineers, scientists, and visionaries as we shape the future of mobility. At MOTOR Ai, your work will have real impact and your ideas will help drive autonomous driving into the next era.

As part of this mission, you’ll take ownership of the end-to-end development of our autonomous sensor system — from selecting and integrating cutting-edge sensors to handling physical installation (cabling, power, and networking), configuring data pipelines (Linux, ROS drivers, transport layers), and driving data analysis.  

You’ll work at the intersection of hardware and software, playing a key role in building the sensor backbone of a truly intelligent self-driving system.

## Tasks

*   Develop low-level sensor synchronisation and calibration solutions.
*   Develop synchronisation and calibration features tailored to autonomous vehicle use cases.
*   Implement/Debug sensor drivers and TCP, UDP, RTS and other communication protocols.
*   Perform hardware/software integration and vehicle parametrization.
*   Participate in software architectural design and implementation.
*   Perform in-vehicle tests.
*   Contribute to creating and refining software development processes.
*   Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define and design sensor requirements.
*   Support the installation of electrical and electronic equipment in vehicles.
*   Assist electrical and mechanical engineers in their work.
*   Document all development and implementation processes.

## Requirements

*   Degree in Computer Engineering, Automotive, Industrial Automation, Electrical, Mechatronics, or Robotics (or equivalent).
*   Proven experience in embedded Linux software development.
*   Proficiency in C, C++, Python, Shell script.
*   Knowledge of network and communication systems.
*   Ability to comprehend microprocessors, microcontrollers, complex electrical systems, architectures.
*   Fluent in spoken and written English.
*   Willingness to travel when required.
*   A collaborative and team-oriented mindset.

Good to have:

*   Time Synchronization (PTP/GPTP, latency and timestamp, trigger) of a broad ecosystem of diverse, multi-vendor sensors (camera, lidar, radar, gps etc)
*   Knowledge of sensors basics and applications
*   Safety critical RTOS (QNX, Vxworks)
*   ROS, Docker, DevContainer
*   Field testing experience with complex systems (autonomous platforms, robotics or motorsport projects)
*   Enthusiasm for autonomous driving technology and a strong technology interest
*   Familiarity with agile development methods
*   Knowledge of ISO26262 and safe design approaches

## Benefits

*   Competitive compensation 
*   Flexible working hours – with room for life’s realities (parenting, care responsibilities, volunteering, etc.)
*   Dog-friendly office – yes, your furry co-worker is welcome
*   Work from our office in Berlin’s vibrant Wedding district
*   Cutting-edge tech & real-world impact – shape the future of autonomous driving with purpose-driven work
*   Collaborative, diverse, and supportive culture – where your ideas matter and your voice is heard
*   Room to grow – both professionally and personally, in a team committed to bold innovation and lifelong learning

If you’re excited to build real-world solutions in the pioneering field of autonomous driving — and want to work in a team that values ownership, diversity, and purpose — we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now and help us shape the future of safe, explainable mobility.
