About Merantix Automotive
The
MX Autonomous Safety Platform is a growing technology stack to
facilitate the real world deployment of autonomous driving systems. We
are developing a scaled, scenario-based testing system in order to
enable the continuous improvement, certification and safe deployment of
self-driving vehicles. The team at Merantix Automotive combines industry
leading deep learning talent with extensive domain knowledge and
experience in building scalable testing environments for autonomous
vehicles. Driven by research and development we have established deep
relationships with leading German OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.
Furthermore, we are a core member at multiple European initiatives and
research projects for the development of robust autonomous systems.
Job
Merantix
is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Automotive team
and help us to build a next generation testing system for autonomous
driving software. Your responsibilities will include:
-
Design
and implement a large-scale testing engine for full stack autonomous
vehicle (AV) software, that implements both log-based as well as
simulated test scenarios
-
Develop applications and tools for data integration, experimentation, quality & modelling
-
Conceptualize
and build simulation environments to develop modular scenarios for AV
testing, which is able to scale to millions of test cases
-
Keep
up to date with advances in autonomous driving with a particular focus
on vehicle safety/robustness, testing, simulation and integrate them
with our solutions
You
will use cutting edge frameworks and infrastructure that enables
training, testing, simulation and deployment of autonomous driving
technology of our clients. You will work directly with leading
researchers and the management top European OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in
the highly vibrant and rapidly growing industry of autonomous driving.
The tasks are diverse and non-repetitive, building a new and innovative
system using state of the art concepts and infrastructure. Some projects
will require special considerations, such as low latency, on-premise
deployment, or highly customized solutions. Additionally, you will be an
integral part of the overall Merantix family to discuss Machine
learning, Data pipelines, Deployment and many more topics with our
experts and talents working in other ventures.

organization and doesn’t track any vacation time; we belief in the
ownership and responsibility of our people, that has proved to be
successful.
Professional Development:
We
encourage everyone to attend at least one professional conference each
year. Last year our entire machine learning engineering team attended
NIPS and ICCV. We make major contributions to the open source community
and have a weekly paper discussion groups to stay up on current
research.
Collaborative Culture:
We
have regular offsites and team dinners. If you want to participate,
that’s great! And if you don’t, that’s fine too. We also encourage the
initiative of our people for activities and team events, just join the
“all-sports” slack channel and stay up-to-date who is going for
bouldering, swimming or any other activity.
We
are an equal-opportunity employer and value diversity. We consider all
applications equally regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion,
sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital
status, disability, or gender identity. We strongly encourage
individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply,
and we can help with immigration.
