Interior Radar Development Engineer

Our FCE R&D Interior Radar Development Engineer will lead in-cabin radar development technical activities such as validation planning, KPI methodology and reporting, regression and release sign-off, OEM test deliverables, root-cause analysis and vehicle tuning evaluation for customer programs. This role works closely with the radar lead, algorithm and DSP teams, firmware, tools, customer and supplier teams to ensure KPI validation, calibration robustness and data quality. Key Responsibilities • Master the interior radar system and all its technical aspects; become a technical reference for internal teams, suppliers and customers, under the radar lead. • Own the validation plan: radar system integration testing, KPI definitions, regression strategy and release sign-off. • Run software performance and KPI validation tests on PC and embedded targets. • Produce OEM test reports, validation evidence and other customer technical deliverables. • Define, track and document test cases, corner cases and validation results • Analyze radar performance (range, angle, Doppler) across seats, occupants, materials and interference conditions. • Design and run experiments to explain performance gaps; generate technical concepts to improve product performance and KPIs. • Produce evaluation reports for each software, model and configuration release. • Decide and report vehicle-specific tuning for customer programs, with algorithm team review. • Reproduce issues reported internally or by customers and lead root-cause analysis. • Run regression tests after software, model or configuration updates, with the test and data engineer. • Prepare and lead customer demonstrations (setup, execution, data capture, debrief). • Support sensor and antenna calibration verification, including vehicle and headliner integration. • Support regulatory and rating test cases (child presence detection protocols, radio certification). • Support supplier collaboration and internal training activities; guide the test and data engineer. • Other duties or projects as assigned • Commitment to the highest ethical standards and adherence to Faurecia's Code of Conduct. Your profile and competencies to succeed Minimum education level: • Master or Bachelor of Engineering (electrical, mechatronics, embedded software, systems or similar) or equivalent Professional Experience: • 7 years of experience in the automotive industry (preferably within automotive electronics) in a similar role. • In-cabin radar experience (occupant detection, child presence detection, vital signs). • Testing and validation experience on sensor, ADAS, embedded or automotive systems. • Experience building test plans, KPI definitions and regression strategies. • Experience collaborating with internal teams, external suppliers, and customers. • Experience in Design & Development within an industrial environment, ideally in the automotive industry • Experience and knowledge in Project Management process • Experience with machine learning model training and practical execution. • Data fusion experience (radar and camera). Skills and competencies: • Familiar with radar or RF measurement, calibration and performance measurement. • Data analysis in Python (NumPy, pandas) or MATLAB; understanding of machine learning evaluation metrics. • Able to work with electronic hardware, tools, scripts and datasets. • Structured, detail-oriented approach to testing and documentation; clear written reports. • Comfortable with • Windows command-line usage • CSV/JSON/Excel data handling • Python scripting, Git/Jira/Confluence • CAN and Ethernet traffic analysis tools • Knowledge of automotive radar fundamentals, signal processing, RF front end basics and data analysis. • ASPICE familiarity and experience; particularly SYS.4 and SYS.5. • Functional safety (ISO 26262) familiarity. • Euro NCAP child presence detection test protocols. • Automotive communication protocols and associated tools knowledge (CAN, Ethernet). • Manages complexity, drives results, collaborates with others. • Ability to travel nationally and internationally (
