We're not just manufacturing vehicles — we're engineering the future of mobility.

What do we do on our team?

Autonomous vehicles and their surrounding ecosystem are important areas in the strategy of MAN and our partners. Together with digitalization and electrification, they form the building blocks of the future product lineup.

To control, monitor and assist the self-driving vehicles on the road, a cloud system is needed which connects and collects many different data sources. To operate fleets of autonomous commercial vehicles from a central place, the right data needs to be process and available at the right time at the right place. This helps in establishing the use case for our customers to easily and economically use autonomous vehicles (AV's). We are searching people to participate in the creation of these key components to help build the autonomous future.
