๐ข About Einride
Einride is pioneering the shift to emission-free freight transport with autonomous and electric vehicles. As a Swedish tech company, it combines cutting-edge technology with sustainability, offering a unique opportunity to work on impactful solutions that reshape logistics.
About This Role
As a Solutions Developer, you'll analyze customer freight data to build roadmaps for autonomous and electric transport, directly influencing sales and strategic decisions. You'll bridge data science and business, driving projects from concept to deployment while collaborating with cross-functional teams.
๐ก A Day in the Life
You might start by analyzing a client's freight data in Python to identify routes suitable for electrification, then prepare a Google Data Studio dashboard highlighting cost and emission savings. Later, you'd present findings to the client's senior stakeholders, field questions, and collaborate with product and operations teams to refine the proposal. The day ends with updating project timelines and coordinating next steps with internal teams.
