Job Summary
In this role, you will develop safety-critical software for real-time vehicle function control, analyze system behavior, and closely collaborate with hardware and various teams to create solutions for remote driving.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- At Vay, cars are remotely operated in real time from our Driving Centers in Berlin and Las Vegas, something few companies worldwide have done on public roads. As an Embedded Software Engineer here at Vay, you'll work on the safety-critical software that directly controls vehicle functions: how a car accelerates, steers, brakes, monitors itself for faults, and reacts in emergencies in real time.
- Your code moves real physical systems on real roads.
- Designing, implementing, and verifying embedded software for the safe remote operation of vehicles on public roads.
- Analyzing and validating system behavior across software and hardware boundaries, and designing robust solutions.
- Analyzing fleet data and logs to validate behavior and guide improvements.
- Working hands-on with the hardware, including measurement equipment, schematics, and data sheets.
- Driving improvements in our tools, automation, and workflows.
- Working closely with hardware, motion-control, systems, testing operations, and other teams across the company to solve problems unique to remote driving.

- Drive and curiosity: you proactively seek out improvements and get involved beyond your immediate task.
- A collaborative, cross-team way of working and clear communication across engineering disciplines.
- Eagerness to learn quickly and grow. We'll support you in expanding your responsibilities to broader system ownership over time.
