Copernicus Autonomous Control Systems

Copernicus Autonomous Control System – emerged from Kopernikus Automotive – now a proud member of Ford Motor Company (acquired March 2025). Our product turns parking lots, depots and factories into Level-4 autonomous playgrounds. What we do Invent Automated Valet Parking (AVP Type 2): our smart infrastructure remotely pilots today’s production cars — no bulky sensor stacks on the vehicle required, all is done by the smart infrastructure. We bring autonomy to production, logistics, repair and parking use-cases worldwide. Life at Copernicus • Small, senior, hyper-collaborative team backed by the resources of a global OEM. • Work on the full stack: perception, planning, V2X, embedded, safety, cybersecurity,.. • Access to state-of-the-art hardware, real vehicles, private test sites and Ford’s global tech community. • No silos, no endless approval chains – your pull request can literally move a Mustang. • Write code in the morning, see it move a vehicle the same afternoon. • Open-minded culture, flat hierarchies, hybrid set-up and plenty of garage-to-track demo days. Who we look for Builders, hackers, researchers and tinkerers who want their algorithms to see the light of day – and the inside of a parking garage. Ready to ship autonomy to thousands of cars? Join us and let’s give every car in the world a self-driving valet.
