# AV Engineer: Autonomous Vehicle System and Control

Why Aidoptation? At Aidoptation, we develop autonomous driving software for high-speed (120kph) driving. Our EdgeDrive stack is built on deterministic, rule-based control and designed to avoid safety-critical situations before they arise. We hold the first authorisation to test Level 4 autonomy on public highways up to the speed limit. As a startup, we move fast and stay close to the technology, so your work ends up on real vehicles on real roads. Because of our roots in autonomous racing we build with precision and robustness. Role Description In this role you will work across the planning-to-control stack for highway autonomy, from trajectory planning through vehicle dynamics and control. You will help design and implement real-time algorithms that keep the vehicle safe, stable, and predictable at high speed and build the interface between planning outputs and vehicle actuators. You will own validation across simulation, SIL/HIL and on-vehicle testing, working closely with planning, perception, localization and systems engineers to close the loop end-to-end. The role includes hands-on vehicle integration, edge-case analysis, and test campaigns, with occasional travel depending on
