Join Quantum-Systems and bring autonomous trucks into real-world operations.
As Chief Engineer Autonomous Trucking, you are the technical owner of the entire program and you identify yourself with the success of this product: you set the technical direction, shape the system architecture, and turn customer needs into an integrated, executable delivery plan.
You orchestrate the complete system, from base vehicle and autonomy hardware to the autonomy software stack and full system integration, and you drive it to maturity, primarily for defense logistics applications in regulated environments.
You work in an extremely tight partnership with Product Management: they own what the customer needs, you own how we achieve it technically and by when we deliver.
Together you balance product ambition against engineering reality, make trade-offs consciously, and keep one integrated plan that the whole organization can execute against.
This is a senior individual contributor role with maximum leverage: you align workstream leads, domain experts, truck OEM partners, and central functions into one integrated product and one executable delivery plan.
You are the technical counterpart to Product, Sales, Supply Chain, Operations, external stakeholder (OEMs), and the credible engineering voice towards senior leadership.
What is your Day to Day Mission:Own the Technical ProgramOwn the end-to-end technical orchestration of our autonomous trucking program with strong focus on integration, execution readiness, and delivery reliability.
Define and maintain the integrated technical roadmap: milestones, dependencies, and critical path from development through deployment, performance, and certification goals.
Identify integration gaps, decision bottlenecks, and execution risks early; escalate with judgement and propose solution optionsEnsure technical trade-offs are transparent and made consciously across product, engineering, and operations.
Drive System Integration to series industrialisation.
