VP of L4 System Engineering
Autobrains
Munich, Germany
Posted on Nov 5, 2025
Description
Autobrains is looking for a true leader — someone who doesn’t wait for direction, and knows how to turn a problem into a breakthrough.
A VP of L4 System Engineering who takes full ownership of our autonomous robotaxi (L4) platform — shaping the bridge between software and hardware, between vision and execution.
This is a rare opportunity to lead world-class engineers, to build real technology that moves people — and to be part of a company rewriting what’s possible in autonomous driving.
Responsibilities
- Lead and empower multidisciplinary teams of SW and HW integration.
- Own the entire system — architecture, software stack, and hardware integration.
- Drive installation, setup, and bring-up of sensors, ECUs, and vehicle systems.
- Design and develop real-time infrastructure in C++ and Python.
- Work closely with AI, hardware, and vehicle engineering teams to deliver a robust, high-performing platform.
- Take responsibility end-to-end — from design to validation, debugging, and optimization.
- Be the person who can take a prototype and make it production-ready — who turns friction into momentum, and complexity into clarity.
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in system or embedded development.
- 3+ years leading technical teams with hands-on involvement.
- Mastery of C++, Python, and ROS/ROS2.
- Proven experience with hardware integration, sensors, and vehicle systems.
- Deep understanding of system architecture and real-time performance.
- A bias for action, a passion for ownership, and the drive to make things happen.
