Application Engineer

Description

The role covers application and calibration work on radar and camera-based driver assistance systems (ADAS). You will work hands-on with how these systems behave at the vehicle level, and you should be self-driven and curious about the technical details.

You will work with software developers, other application and calibration engineers, and project managers to build customer-specific solutions for next-generation ADAS.

Responsibilities

• Test, integrate, apply, and validate radar and camera driver assistance functions, and write their requirements. Examples include lateral control, road-departure mitigation, predictive emergency braking, traffic-sign recognition, headlight control, and autonomous driving features.
• Lead radar and camera integration work, debugging and troubleshooting with tools such as CANoe, CANalyzer, CANape, and MATLAB.
• Run bench tests and vehicle tests on public roads and test tracks.
• Calibrate radar and camera sensor algorithms in the vehicle and in simulation or bench setups, meeting objective and subjective targets set by customers and internally.
• Support feature development, focusing on integration and system-level behavior.
• Take part in feature reviews covering system performance, robustness, and interface alignment.
• Propose software or logic changes for problems that parameter tuning cannot fix.
• Make sure development, validation, and delivery follow internal processes and guidelines.
• Join customer test drives and represent the company in technical discussions.
• Be the main technical contact for OEMs on application topics, and prepare and present technical material.
• Pre-analyze customer-reported issues and defects found during internal validation.
• Analyze in-vehicle performance problems and propose corrective actions.
• Record and assess measurements taken from the vehicle environment.

Requirements

• Engineering bachelor's degree, or a foreign equivalent.
• Valid driver's license.
• 3+ years in systems or requirements engineering and release processes for automotive applications.
• 3+ years using calibration tools for embedded software or controls.
• Working knowledge of driver assistance sensors and functions, and real interest in new ADAS technology.
• Hands-on use of Vector CANape to calibrate embedded systems.
• Direct experience troubleshooting embedded control systems built into a vehicle.
• Strong spoken and written English. Other languages are a plus.
• Willing to carry out vehicle testing on public roads and test tracks.
• Solid grasp of vehicle architecture, vehicle dynamics, and driver assistance interfaces.
• Nice to have: Master's degree in electrical, computer, mechanical engineering, or a related field.
• Nice to have: a clear sense of ownership, commitment, and inventive thinking.
• Nice to have: experience with Agile methods such as SCRUM, Kanban, or Lean.
• Nice to have: ability to work alone in a structured, organized way, with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Nice to have: strong communication and presentation skills for working with global teams and external customers.
• Nice to have: ability to travel about 4 to 6 weeks per year for domestic and international test drives.
• Nice to have: ability to read embedded C/C++ code or Python scripts and make small software updates.
• Nice to have: hands-on lab experience, including adjusting sensor mounts, modifying vehicles, wiring and instrumenting (for example DGPS), and troubleshooting test equipment setups.
