Because we own the full stack, from sensors to AI to vehicle actuation, you’ll have the freedom to explore and combine whatever approaches deliver the best real-world results: end-to-end models, hybrid AI/robotics architectures, learned planning, classical control, foundation models. We’re not locked into legacy thinking. We ship what works.Responsibilities:Design, build, test, and ship our autonomous driving stack across perception, scene understanding, sensor fusion, localization, prediction, planning, and vehicle controlDevelop and deploy AI models for real-world driving on embedded platforms (NVIDIA Jetson)Integrate multi-sensor systems spanning cameras, radar, LiDAR, GNSS/IMU, and vehicle stateConnect software with real vehicles through CAN, drive-by-wire, and safety controllersBuild infrastructure for data collection, labeling, simulation, replay, and shadow mode testingDebug problems at the intersection of AI, robotics, embedded systems, and vehicle hardwareShip improvements into real vehicles every weekYour profileApply if this describes you:Generalist engineer comfortable moving between ML, robotics, software engineering, and embedded systemsYou’ve built real systems, not just prototypes or research demos. Any you have taken them from idea to deployment to field testStrong background in one or more of: deep learning, computer vision, sensor fusion, planning and control, localization/SLAM, real-time systems, or GPU optimizationExperience with Python, C++, PyTorch, CUDA, TensorRT, ROS2, Linux, Docker, or GStreamerYou make good technical decisions with incomplete information and don’t need a perfect spec to get startedExperience with Autoware, NVIDIA tooling, or real vehicle deployment is a strong plusWhy us?Build a real driverless vehicle from scratch. Your code goes into vehicles fast.Help define the architecture, not just implement itWork directly with the foundersNo politics, no corporate layers, no endless meetingsMassive ownership from day oneCompetitive salary and meaningful equity for exceptional peopleBased in Berlin, building globally relevant technologyAbout usWith Bliq, we are working to bring driverless mobility to European cities.We started out as a ride hailing company and since our launch, have already processed more than 50+ million trip offers from hundreds of thousands of passengers.Having established a strong presence in 7 markets across Europe, Bliq is now expanding onto the next frontier: to launch a driverless vehicle service from the ground up. After years of technology development and rigourous testing, this expansion marks a significant milestone as we bring our innovative approach to urban mobility to cities worldwide. Backed by a total funding of more than $35m from notable investors such as NEA and Atlantic Labs, Bliq is poised to redefine the future of ride-hailing.We already have colleagues from a total of 12 countries, a truly international, diverse, and open-minded team. We value teamwork, entrepreneurial spirit, and technology. We work and play equally hard.
