You will work on Fernrideâs hardwareâsoftware integration and validation infrastructure, ensuring that software changes are continuously tested against real and representative vehicle targets. The focus of the role is on automation, emulation, and simulationâbringing hardware, networks, and vehicle interfaces reliably into CI.
As part of the Engineering Enablement / Build & Infrastructure team, you will design and operate HIL and target CI systems that scale with product complexity while maintaining high quality and determinism. The goal is leverage: enabling product teams to validate changes early, automatically, and with confidence.
How you will leave your footprint
Design, build, and operate HIL and target CI systems integrated into the company-wide CI pipeline
Automate HW/SW integration tests using emulation, simulation, and real hardware targets
Develop and maintain CAN and vehicle-bus simulations, including tooling comparable to CANoe
Integrate hardware-centric validation workflows into Bazel-based build and test systems
Improve observability, stability, and reproducibility of hardware-driven CI environments
What you will bring to the team
Required skills
Experience with HW/SW integration testing, HIL systems, or target-based validation
Strong software engineering skills, with a focus on automation and test infrastructure
Hands-on experience with vehicle communication buses (e.g. CAN) and related tooling or simulations
Solid understanding of CI systems and how to integrate hardware-dependent workflows
A quality-first mindset and the discipline to design reliable, repeatable test setups
Preferred skills
Experience with Bazel or other large-scale, declarative build and test systems
Familiarity with tools like CANoe, CANalyzer, or similar automotive validation environments
Experience operating or scaling hardware labs, test rigs, or remote target infrastructure

Who we are
At FERNRIDE, we believe in a future where robotics unlocks human potential to create a better world. Yet today, humans still perform repetitive, risky tasks to keep our world running. These jobs, essential yet unattractive, should be performed by robots, which still fall short. We are on a mission to change that and transform critical industries through human-centric automation.
FERNRIDE delivers a comprehensive ground autonomy platform to offer scalable automation solutions across industries. They span from container terminals and yard operations via defence logistics to open-road trucking. By combining AI-powered autonomy with human oversight and modular, vehicle-agnostic hardware, we enable businesses and defence organizations to harness the full potential of automation, driving efficiency and safety.
FERNRIDE was founded in 2019 following 10 years of research at the Technical University of Munich and currently has 50 employees. We are setting the standard for autonomous logistics and advancing Europeâs technological sovereignty by delivering the first-ever fully certified autonomous trucking system in Europe in 2025.
