Founded in 2016, Einride became the first company in the world to deploy a cab-less autonomous electric vehicle on a public road (Sweden, 2019). In 2022, we were the first to successfully operate such a vehicle on a US public road. Today our award-winning technology has been launched across 8 countries (and counting). Our clients are some of the world’s biggest shippers, including Fortune 500 companies.
The Release & Programme Team within the Einride Autonomous Technologies is responsible for autonomous vehicle software releases and autonomous vehicle programs, including proof of concepts and R&D projects.

  • Comfortable balancing multiple concurrent projects in an agile, fast paced and international environment.
