Inside the Role

Daimler Truck has been at the forefront of transportation innovation for more than 130 years, from pioneering commercial vehicle technologies to bringing the first automated commercial vehicle to public roads.

This position is ideal for engineers early in their careers who are interested in autonomous systems, vehicle testing, systems engineering, and functional safety. You will gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge automated driving technologies while developing the technical and leadership skills needed to grow into a key contributor in autonomous vehicle validation.
