Presentation:


Candela’s ultimate purpose is to speed up the transition to fossil fuel-free lakes and oceans. We strive to re-think efficiency in marine transportation to radically push the performance boundaries of electric boats and ships.

By combining sensors, computers and advanced submerged hydrofoils, our electric craft fly above the water, reaching speeds and range previously attained only by fossil fuel powerboats.

After launching Candela C-7, Europe’s currently best-selling electric boat, we launched Candela C-8 in August 2021, the first electric boat intended for high volume production. We are also venturing into public transport with the revolutionary foiling P-30 ferry, built for the city of Stockholm.

We are now looking for an Autonomous Driving Software Engineer to support Candela’s growth ambitions.

About this role

As an Autonomous Driving Software Engineer, you will be working on our Autonomous Driving stack. You will work with a diverse, highly focused team developing high-quality software that powers the next generation of our autonomous boats operating in complex open water/sea and harbor environments.

Responsibilities

- Contribute to the development related to boat dynamics and control and support other team member in such areas, e.g. adaptive cruise control, urban driving, trajectory planning, emergency maneuvers (collision avoidance, mitigation), etc.
- Design technologies needed to build Autonomous Driving software stack, lead/assist control and boat modeling software modules integration to overall autonomous software stack.
- Design and implement drivers for different sensors like, cameras, thermal cameras, radars, lidars and ultrasonic sensors.
- Selecting and deploying appropriate CI/CD tools
- Working on ways to automate and improve development and release processes
- Testing and examining code written by others and analysing results
- Identifying technical problems and developing software updates and ‘fixes’
- Working with other software developers and software engineers to ensure that development follows established processes and works as intended
