Summary
Max Ahlberg is an engineering manager specializing in motion planning and control with nine years of experience delivering autonomous drive systems for vehicles, currently leading the Motion Planning and Control team at Einride. He combines deep academic training from KTH and ETH Zürich with hands-on system design, MPC development, vehicle modelling and safety proofs, and has progressed from one of Einride’s first 20 employees to a leader in a 550-person company. Max has led cross-functional teams, run test-track programs and customer deployments, and brings practical expertise in Golang, Matlab and C for production-grade autonomy. His background includes spearheading the driverless division at KTH Formula Student and writing a thesis on optimization-based trajectory planning, reflecting a persistent focus on reducing accidents and emissions via ADAS and autonomous tech. A less obvious strength is his blend of customer-facing deployment experience with rigorous analytical validation methods—statistical V&V and formal safety arguments—bridging research and real-world impact.
