Autonomous Driving DevOps Engineer
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 DevOps Engineer to support Candela’s growth ambitions.
Core Responsibilities
As an Autonomous Driving DevOps Engineer, you will be responsible for our Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD) stack.

Join a stellar team
By bringing together some of the world’s brightest researchers and engineers, we are pushing the boundaries of marine transportation. We take great pride in building engagement within our teams. Our internal motto is “with a revolutionary spirit and kindness”, which translates into an open and honest work environment.
We are a 80-strong, multinational team of experts within dynamic modelling, hardware design, hydrodynamics, control theory, machine learning, structural engineering work and production to build the next generation of waterborne transport.
This is a full-time position at our Headquarter and production facility in Gåshaga, Lidingö. But we will be moving within the Stockholm area during 2022. Working language is English, if you also know Swedish it will be a benefit for yourself, but it is not a prerequisite for the role.
Application
The selection and interview process is ongoing, so send your application in English as soon as possible. Kindly note that we cannot process applications sent via email.
We welcome the opportunity to meet you!
