The Impact You'll Make
Are you ready to design the brains behind the next generation of intelligent machines? As our new Lead Engineer, you will develop the cutting-edge control systems that enable tractors, mining trucks, and construction vehicles to operate autonomously.
This isn’t just a coding job; you will be on the front lines of innovation. You will travel to customer sites, seeing your software come to life as you deploy and tune autonomous systems in challenging, real-world environments like active mines and vast agricultural fields.
Your work will directly transform the off-highway industry, making machinery safer, more efficient, and more sustainable. You will be a key technical leader, pushing the boundaries of robotics and shaping the future of industrial automation.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Lead the end-to-end development of autonomous control systems for heavy-duty off-highway vehicles using ROS2 and modern C/C++.
- Design, test, and optimize complex algorithms for sensor fusion, path planning, and vehicle navigation, integrating data from LiDAR, cameras, and GNSS/GPS.
- Travel to customer sites to deploy, tune, and validate your autonomous solutions on real-world machinery in the agriculture, construction, and mining industries.
- Bridge the gap between high-level software and vehicle hardware by developing embedded control solutions using Danfoss’ PLUS+1 platform.
- Ensure the highest levels of system reliability and safety by leading rigorous testing and adhering to functional safety standards like ISO 13849.
What We're Looking For
- Bachelors Degree in an Engineering related field with 8+ years of experience developing complex robotics applications using ROS2, combined with strong software engineering skills in C/C++ within a Linux environment.
- A solid understanding of vehicle dynamics, control systems, and onboard communication networks like CAN bus.
- Hands-on experience with perception and localization sensors such as LiDAR, cameras, and GNSS/GPS, including sensor fusion techniques.
- Knowledge of functional safety standards (ISO 13849/25119) and experience working with safety-critical systems.
- Excellent communication skills, a collaborative mindset, and the willingness to travel to customer sites for hands-on system deployment and support.
What You'll Get from Us
- We promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
- You’ll have flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Your well-being matters to us.
- We strive to create an inclusive work environment where people of all backgrounds are respected, and valued for who they are.
- You’ll receive benefits like 401k, annual bonus, paid vacation, personal insurance, and more. These vary by country and contract, but they’re worth asking about—we think they’re pretty great.
