(Senior) Control Engineer

Overview Ever imagined saying, "I helped launch the future of transportation"? We're rewriting the rules of urban mobility. At Vay, customers tap a button and a car arrives - with no one inside - powered by our world-first Remote Driving technology on real public streets. We\'re live in Las Vegas and scaling fast, powered by a strategic investment of up to $410 million from Grab. Our mission is simple: replace private car ownership with a faster, cleaner, door-to-door mobility model. If you want to build something real, visible, and genuinely transformative, you\'ll feel right at home here.What\'s happening at VayFirst to roll out vehicles in both Europe and the USA on public roads without a human being inside & currently the 2nd largest commercial, driverless car fleet in the Western World.We\'ve partnered with Kodiak to bring remote-driving technology to autonomous trucks in the US, showcasing our ability to integrate our system into heavy-duty commercial vehicles and expand the applications of our tech across the US.We\'ve completed tens of thousands of trips so far and are busy multiplying our Las Vegas fleet just to meet demand!...And soon we\'ll be expanding across the US & EuropeWhy this role is excitingAt Vay, cars are remotely operated in real time from Driving Centers in Berlin and Las Vegas.
