DescriptionIn this position
You will 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 semiconductor technologies embedded software and system-level design development analysis and Integration.
ResponsibilitiesWhat youll do
- ADAS Platform System Design & Architecture:
- Support the design and development of the technical architecture for the next generation ADAS platform ensuring the design meets functional and performance requirements.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system-level requirements integrate hardware/software components and ensure compliance with automotive standards.
- Technical Leadership: Design develop and integrate hardware and software solutions for ADAS features ensuring compatibility with interfacing hardware and 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.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop and cascade of Platform System logical and technology requirements to the hardware and software elements including the complete requirement traceability. This includes platform system specifications architecture and requirements cascade to the hardware and software elements for implementation.
- Ensure integration of sensors (radar cameras ultrasonics) hardware (SoC) with embedded software and firmware to meet ADAS system capabilities and requirements.
- Support the development of the Platform System analysis including all interfaces failure mode analysis and corresponding robustness actions.
- Identify and mitigate potential risks in the system design by analyzing technical trade-offs and providing alternative solutions.
- System Design Integration & Test:
- 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
- Develop test methods to ensure seamless integration of hardware (SoC) with embedded software and firmware elements. Design testing methods and protocols both virtual and physical to validate system performance in real-world conditions.
- Performance Optimization:
- Analyze and optimize the performance of the platform system hardware software sensors and perception. Conduct performance tuning memory management and debugging to ensure efficient operation within constraints (e.g. power consumption CPU load latency etc.).
- Collaboration with Suppliers & Partners:
- Work closely with in-house hardware and software design teams suppliers and external partners to evaluate and integrate third-party components and software for ADAS systems.
- Problem Solving & Troubleshooting:
- Provide support for troubleshooting and resolving issues related to the ADAS platform system SoC integration performance and system software.
- Documentation & Reporting:
- Maintain comprehensive documentation for design testing and validation processes. Provide regular updates to stakeholders on project progress challenges and resolutions.
QualificationsYoull have
- Bachelors degree in engineering or computer Science
- 7 years of experience in systems engineering/product development.
- 5 years of experience in the development of automotive ECUs with a focus on ADAS systems.
- 3 years of experience infailure analysis methodologies such as FMEA fault tree analysis and root cause analysis.
- Experience using MBSE tools (e.g. Magic Draw MATLAB Simulink etc.).
- Strong knowledge of digital circuit design signal processing and microcontroller/processor architectures including familiarity with automotive SoC architecture power management ICs and embedded microcontrollers.
- Experience with hardware/software interfaces and validation methodologies.
- Familiarity with automotive communication protocols such as CAN LIN Ethernet etc.
Even better you may have
- Masters degree in electrical engineering Control Systems Engineering or Computer Engineering
- 10 years of experience with automotive product development working with driver assistance systems safety systems (active or passive) including experience from the concept phase through successful production introduction.
- 5 years of experience in embedded systems design software development and system integration.
- Hands-on experience with ADAS technologies such as adaptive cruise control (ACC) lane-keeping assist (LKA) automatic emergency braking (AEB) and other sensor-based driver assistance features.
- 5 years of experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) safety-critical applications and automotive communication protocols (e.g. CAN Ethernet LIN).
- Software engineering and algorithm development experience.
- Proficient in the analysis and troubleshooting of complex electronic systems.
- Experience with AUTOSAR and automotive software frameworks.
