What you will work on

You will work on Fernride’s embedded vehicle software platform, forming the foundation that connects high-level autonomy and teleoperation software to the physical vehicle. This spans the full embedded stack—from bootloader, middleware and operating system up to board support packages, drivers, and vehicles Drive-by-Wire interfaces.

The role sits close to the hardware and is essential for deterministic behavior, reliable time synchronization, and robust sensor integration across the vehicle platform.

How you will leave your footprint

Develop and maintain embedded software across the full vehicle platform, from bootloader to application-level interfaces
Integrate and evolve Drive-by-Wire interfaces and other safety-relevant vehicle controls
Integrate and maintain BSPs, embedded OS configurations, and low-level platform services
Implement and optimize drivers for vehicle sensors and embedded peripherals
Ensure reliable system timing and synchronization across sensors, compute units, and networks

What you will bring to the team

Required Skills

Strong experience in embedded software development (C/C++), ideally in automotive or robotics environments
Solid knowledge of embedded Linux or RTOS-based systems, including bootloaders and BSPs
Experience developing or integrating low-level drivers and hardware interfaces
Understanding of timing, synchronization, and real-time constraints in embedded systems
A quality- and reliability-focused mindset for safety-relevant software

Preferred Skills

Experience with Drive-by-Wire systems or other vehicle control interfaces
Familiarity with automotive networks and time synchronization mechanisms (e.g. CAN, ETH, PTP)
Experience working with custom hardware platforms and bring-up of new embedded boards
Experience with middleware development
Experience with Rust

Who We Are At FERNRIDE, we believe in a future where robotics unlocks human potential to create a better world. Yet today, humans still perform repetitive, risky tasks to keep our world running. These jobs, essential yet unattractive, should be performed by robots, which still fall short. We are on a mission to change that and transform critical industries through human-centric automation.

FERNRIDE delivers a comprehensive ground autonomy platform to offer scalable automation solutions across industries. They span from container terminals and yard operations via defence logistics to open-road trucking. By combining AI-powered autonomy with human oversight and modular, vehicle-agnostic hardware, we enable businesses and defence organizations to harness the full potential of automation, driving efficiency and safety.

FERNRIDE was founded in 2019 following 10 years of research at the Technical University of Munich and currently has 50 employees. We are setting the standard for autonomous logistics and advancing Europe’s technological sovereignty by delivering the first-ever fully certified autonomous trucking system in Europe in 2025.
