Job Description

This role involves application and calibration responsibilities for advanced radar- and camera-based driver assistance systems (ADAS). The ideal candidate is highly self-driven, technically curious, and eager to engage hands-on with vehicle-level system behavior. You will collaborate closely with software developers, fellow application/calibration engineers, and project managers to deliver customer-specific solutions for next-generation ADAS technologies.

Key Responsibilities
  • Perform vehicle testing, system integration, application, validation, and requirements engineering for radar and camera-based driver assistance functions (e.g., lateral control, road-departure mitigation, predictive emergency braking, traffic-sign recognition, headlight control, and autonomous driving features).
  • Lead radar and camera integration activities, including debugging and troubleshooting using automotive tools such as CANoe, CANalyzer, CANape, and MATLAB.
  • Conduct bench and vehicle testing (public roads and test tracks).
  • Calibrate radar and camera sensor algorithms using in-vehicle and simulation/bench environments to meet objective and subjective customer and internal performance targets.
  • Support feature development with emphasis on integration and system-level behavior.
  • Participate in feature reviews, focusing on system performance, robustness, and interface alignment.
  • Recommend software or logic enhancements for issues not solvable through parameter tuning.
  • Ensure system development, validation, and delivery in accordance with internal processes and guidelines.
  • Support customer test drives and represent Bosch in technical discussions.
  • Serve as the first point of contact for OEMs on application topics; prepare and deliver technical presentations.
  • Conduct pre-analysis of customer-reported issues or defects identified during internal validation.
  • Analyze in-vehicle performance issues and propose corrective actions.
  • Record and evaluate vehicle-environment measurements for further technical assessment.


Qualifications

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline (or foreign equivalent).
  • Valid driver's license.
  • 3+ years of experience in systems or requirements engineering and release processes within automotive applications.
  • 3+ years of experience using calibration tools for embedded software/controls.
  • Knowledge of driver assistance sensors and functions, with strong interest in emerging ADAS technologies.
  • Hands-on experience using Vector CANape for embedded system calibration.
  • Direct experience troubleshooting embedded control systems integrated into a vehicle platform.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills in English (additional languages a plus).
  • Comfortable conducting vehicle testing on public roads and test tracks.
  • Solid understanding of vehicle architecture, vehicle dynamics, and driver-assistance interfaces.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Master's degree in Electrical, Computer, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
  • Demonstrated sense of ownership, commitment, and innovative thinking.
  • Experience with Agile methodologies (e.g., SCRUM, Kanban, Lean).
  • Ability to work independently in a structured, organized manner; strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong communication and presentation skills for collaboration with global teams and external customers.
  • Flexibility to travel (approx. 4-6 weeks per year) and participate in domestic and international test drives.
  • Ability to understand embedded C/C++ code or Python scripts and make minor software updates.
  • Hands-on experience conducting lab work, including sensor mounting adjustments, vehicle modifications, wiring/instrumentation (e.g., DGPS), and troubleshooting test-equipment architectures.
