Simulate the Future of Autonomous Driving
At Five AI, we’re building platforms, simulation environments and AI tooling that power the next generation of intelligent systems.
Today, our work helps advance autonomous driving. Tomorrow, we’re creating scalable technologies that will accelerate robotics, embodied AI and future intelligent systems across Bosch.
We’re not building one-off solutions - we’re building products that enable engineers to develop, train and evaluate AI faster, more safely and at greater scale.
Joining Five means working in agile, empowered teams where you’ll solve complex engineering challenges, take ownership of meaningful work and build technology with global impact.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll build tools and systems that help engineers develop, run and evaluate simulation and AI workflows at scale.
You’ll join a multidisciplinary engineering team working across simulation tooling, developer workflows, distributed systems and AI-enabled engineering platforms. The work is varied, so we’re looking for someone who is comfortable picking up new languages, tools and domains where needed to solve the problem in front of them.
Working closely with Product Managers, Scientists and Engineers, you’ll build platforms and tooling that support autonomous driving today while helping create the foundations for the next generation of intelligent systems across Bosch.
What we're looking for
We’re looking for engineers who enjoy solving complex technical challenges, are excited by AI and machine learning, and thrive in an environment where learning new technologies is part of the job.
