Your Role
We are seeking a Solutions Engineer to deploy the driveblocks off-road autonomy stack to target compute systems and vehicles. A core responsibility of this role is to apply, monitor, and benchmark the driveblocks software
in customer and internal
vehicle platforms to achieve maximum performance.
As a solution engineer, you are responsible for the full journey of our customers – from drafting the first technical concept
to configuring, testing and deploying
the software. You ensure that the driveblocks software meets the application requirements in an embedded, real time
-critical environment. You ensure high performance and quality through system simulations and software component testing on-site
under real-world conditions.

About Us
driveblocks, based in Munich, builds a robust und certifiable technology platform for Off-Road autonomy across verticals such as agriculture, construction, and defense. The technology combines a universal neural network foundation model with geometrically interpretable sensor fusion to create the next-generation perception software suite. It operates without costly pre-mapping and constant connectivity, enabling operation even in GNSS-denied environments.
Our platform runs on production-grade embedded hardware, ensuring reliable operation in dirty, dusty, and complex 3D environments. It navigates through vegetation and rough terrain — essential for off-road autonomy.
We are a growing deep-tech company with a strong technical foundation, focused on long-term customer value and continuous improvement. At driveblocks, innovation thrives through learning and ownership — the core of our culture.
