About the company:

Einride is an industry-disrupting freight technology company providing end-to-end solutions for electric and autonomous shipping.

By deploying technologies that are integrated using its data-driven operating system, Saga, it enables customers to decarbonize their operations by making an immediate shift towards digitalized, electric road freight.

In 2019, Einride became the world’s first company to operate an autonomous, electric freight vehicle on a public road. Its vision is to make Earth a better place through intelligent movement.

Part commercial enterprise, part revolutionary movement, Einride leads the transition to a zero-emission transportation system, based on autonomous, all-electric vehicles, coordinated by an intelligent routing software — making the journey from A to B as efficient as possible.
 

The hardware team is responsible for pushing the boundaries of remote assisted autonomous driving and all-electric propulsion, giving Einride’s vehicles the stamina, awareness, connectivity and intelligence to operate in increasingly difficult environments.

As the VP of Technology for Hardware at Einride, you'll be leading a top talent team of ambitious, creative, kind-hearted people who challenge conventional thinking, think big, and aim for zero.

This position is based in Gothenburg. We recommend you submit your application as soon as possible as selection and interviews are held continually.

Where you will have an impact:

  • Build a global technology powerhouse, and strong engineering culture over teams responsible for building a fully electric autonomous vehicle from the ground up
  • Work with the latest and greatest sensors systems, braking & steering systems, safe electrical architectures and the many deeper sub systems needed for heavy electric trucks
  • Do the strategic make or buy decisions in order to enable a cost efficient sustainable freight
  • Evaluate new technology to ensure readiness for a quick time to market
  • Be the glue between the autonomous drive algorithms & software teams and vehicle manufacturing teams. Enabling development from concept to manufacturing on scale.
  • Build out Einride’s long term strategy for electric autonomous truck hardware for the next five years.
  • Build capabilities and continuous improvement within the team, empowering them to work autonomously and make decisions.
  • What we are looking for:

  • Experience in heading up a hardware development function at the global/HQ level for a high growth scaleup/enterprise brand
  • You should have vast experience of solving complex issues and breaking them down into terms everybody understands
  • Extensive experience leading people to success. A track record of working with high performing people and turning them into high performing teams
  • A positive mindset to inspire your teams through the thought
  • Experience working with autonomous technologies would be beneficial
  • Exposure to hardware and software is key
