Work in close collaboration with the Deployment team on the full development cycle of one or more software components for automated off-road driving and their application to real-world vehicle platforms.

Depending on your interests and the team’s priorities, your focus may include:

Feature development, profiling and benchmarking of software components like

The driveblocks off-road 3D state estimation module

The sensor (camera/LiDAR/IMU, …) drivers

Enabling continuous integration pipelines on target compute platforms (e.g., NVIDIA-based and others).

Software release preparations and functional testing.

Data management for AI module re-training; involvement in data recording activities in off-road environments.

Maintenance of our development vehicles.

Preparation and involvement in demos for customers and investors.

Your work directly contributes to safely operating heavy machinery in real-world environments.

Active driver's license.
Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master's degree in computer science, informatics, engineering or related fields.
Practical experience in software development, e.g. through past work experiences, intenships, Formula Student, etc.
Ideally experience with embedded control units.
Ideally experience with Linux, Cpp, git, ROS2, containerized development processes, CI/CD frameworks.
15+ hours availability per week.

About Us driveblocks develops off-road ground autonomy that works under harsh and challenging conditions. We build systems designed for operation in 3D terrain, vegetation, and heavy dust and dirt, where 100% reliability is core to success, even in GNSS-denied environments.

Working with multiple OEM partners across agriculture, construction, and defense, our focus is to deliver value to vehicle operators and solve the toughest challenges when deploying Physical AI in real world applications. Every deployment helps us to gather the operational data required to build the next generation of reliable and safe autonomous driving systems.

From our office in Munich, we operate as a focused, highly ambitious team with deep expertise in autonomy, Physical AI, and embedded software engineering. We move quickly and set high standards. If you want to build autonomy that is deployed, tested, and operated in the field - we’d love to hear from you!
