About the role

  • Support the design, development and analysis of an integrated suite of hardware, software and sensor technologies enabling the deployment of ADAS features such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Collision Avoidance, Parking Assistance, and more.
  • The ideal candidate will possess experience in automotive electronics, embedded software, and system-level design, development, analysis, and Integration.
  • Support the design and development of the technical architecture for the next generation ADAS platform, ensuring the design meets functional and performance requirements.
  • Ensure designs meet ADAS features performance, safety, and regulatory standards, including compliance with ISO 26262 (functional safety), and cybersecurity standards.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system-level requirements, integrate hardware/software components, and ensure compliance with automotive standards.
  • Design, develop and integrate hardware and software solutions for ADAS features, ensuring compatibility with interfacing software elements. Support cross-functional teams (hardware, software, and system engineers) in the development, failure mode analysis, integration, and optimization of ADAS solutions using model-based systems engineering (MBSE) methodologies.
  • Identify and mitigate potential risks in the system design by analyzing technical trade-offs and providing alternative solutions.
  • Collaborate with hardware engineers to develop board-level interfaces and ensure proper signal integrity and communication between components.
  • Ensure sensors and perception solutions are designed and tested to meet the needs of the platform system.
  • Analyze and optimize the performance of the platform system hardware, software, sensors, and perception.
  • Work closely with in-house software design teams, suppliers and external partners to evaluate, and integrate third-party components and software for ADAS systems.

Requirements
