We understand that not everyone will meet all the criteria! If you see yourself in these points, we’d love to learn more about you!

From our office in Munich, driveblocks delivers a robust, certifiable technology platform for off-road autonomy. We deploy autonomy on production-grade hardware across industries such as agriculture, construction, and defense already today. To withstand the harshest conditions, we combine a universal neural network foundation model with geometrically interpretable sensor fusion, creating the next-generation perception software suite. It operates without costly pre-mapping or constant connectivity, enabling operations even in complex, dirty, dusty and GNSS-denied 3D environments.

With a strong tech focus, we build a highly ambitious and collaborative team that excels across all areas of the company. If you have worked in similar high-performance environments before and are ready to put your talent into action with us, we look forward to receiving your application.
