The posting

At Sonatus, we’re driving the transformation to AI-enabled software-defined vehicles.

  • Well-versed in Agile Project Management processes.
  • Work well with rapid changes and feel comfortable navigating through uncertain and ambiguous situations.
  • Prior experience working in one or more areas such as Embedded Software, Cloud Networking, TCP/IP based products, or the Automotive industry.

Desired Skills:

  • Technical background preferred in Networking, Automotive Infrastructure, Electrical, or Mechanical.
  • Experience with Microsoft Project, JIRA, Excel, or similar tools.
  • Develop processes to cut through complexity; employ creative methods to navigate across hurdles both technical and organizational.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
