To be successful in this role, we believe you have:

- Engineering degree or equivalent

- Previous experience in the field of software and electronics within the area of AD / ADAS

- It will be seen as a strength if you come from a hands-on engineering background and would like to complement your engineering skills with leadership responsibility.
