About the PositionThe ADAS Algorithm Engineer designs and develops ADAS control algorithms (e.g., ACC, lane centering, braking) using tools like Simulink, TargetLink, and C/C++, including calibration, testing (MIL/SIL/vehicle), integration, and debugging. They work across the full development cycle-defining requirements, analyzing test data, validating performance, collaborating with customers, and supporting integration, toolchains, and project planning.
What you can look forward to as ADAS Algorithm Engineer:- Design, implement and test longitudinal and lateral control algorithms for driving functions such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lance Centering, Lane Changes, Collision Imminent Braking etc. using Simulink, Targetlink and C/C++
- Calibrate and tune controls functions in vehicle and simulation
- Develop functional system requirements from customer requirements and algorithm requirements from system level requirements
- Demonstrate algorithm performance, and negotiate algorithm requirements with internal and external customers
- Analyze data from vehicle tests or synthetic tests
- Develop test scripts for algorithm testing and integrate algorithms into Base Software
- Conduct algorithm development test (Model-in-the-Loop (MIL), Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and In-Vehicle, Unit Test), and support algorithm integration into ECU
- Debug algorithm issues in vehicle or HIL bench
- Support tool chain developments for SIL or Continuous Integration (CI), and support algorithm project lead with effort estimations and planning
Your profile as ADAS Algorithm Engineer:- Bachelor or Master degree in engineering, computer science, natural sciences, maths or similar
- 3+ years of experience with automotive development process
