Embedded Systems Engineer - Autonomous Vehicles
isee
If you studied electrical engineering or computer science and want to work on self-driving cars from day one, this is a direct path. ISEE's hardware team builds the embedded software that keeps autonomous vehicles safe and operational. You'll own real responsibility early—not just learn, but ship code that matters.
You'll develop and maintain software for vehicle control units, sensors, and safety systems. This means writing embedded C, testing your code rigorously, and collaborating between hardware teams and higher-level software systems. It's technical work with clear impact on how the vehicle behaves.
You need a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or computer science, hands-on embedded development experience (automotive or robotics preferred), and solid C skills. If you've built projects, contributed to open-source robotics code, or interned in these domains, you're closer than you think. A genuine interest in autonomous vehicles and strong communication matter more than you might expect in an engineering role.
To apply, submit your resume and portfolio to CareerJumpShip. Include links to any relevant projects or code—that's what gets attention.
