Head of Traffic Simulation (m/w/d) automous driving

MOTOR Ai is a Berlin-based deep-tech startup transforming the way autonomous driving works.
We're not just building smarter vehicles — we’re developing one of the first certifiable Level 4 autonomy systems in Europe, grounded in cognitive neuroscience and capable of navigating real-world, complex traffic scenarios.

Our technology doesn’t just recognize — it reasons. That means safer, faster, and more adaptable autonomy — especially in environments where traditional AI struggles.Join our diverse and fast-growing team of engineers, scientists, and visionaries as we shape the future of mobility. At MOTOR Ai, your work will have real impact and your ideas will help drive autonomous driving into the next era.

Tasks

• Build a programmatic system that can automatically generate thousands of permutations of given scenario conditions.
• Combine formal verification, traffic rule formalization, and simulation-based testing.
• Implement realistic and interactive car, cyclist, and pedestrian agents.
• Integrate logged data replay with simulated agents.
• Design challenge-oriented simulations that meet industry regulations and standards.
• Design performance, coverage, and safety metrics for closed-loop AV testing.

Requirements

• MSc. in Computer Science or Mathematics (or related fields).
• Industry experience writing Python (C++ knowledge is beneficial).
• Experience with machine learning and applied deep learning.
• Experience with AV simulation frameworks (e.g., Carla).
• Knowledge of AV industry standards and regulations (e.g., OpenScenario, SOTIF, RSS).
• Experience in requirement analysis, test case writing, and software-in-the-loop testing.
• Experience with formal verification and temporal logics is a plus.
• Strong organizational skills and teamwork abilities.
• German driver's license and/or strong knowledge of German traffic rules.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation
