YOUR TEAM

We are aiming at bringing assisted and automated driving features to our roads on our journey towards autonomous driving. These in-house developed features will guide you through the whole development process. From concept until release to the customer. The key challenge to enable self-driving vehicles is the perception of the environment of the car - in all relevant situations and use-cases. For our environment model we go beyond state of the art approaches to gain and process information about the vehicle's surroundings provided by a multitude of sensors as well as backend services.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Develop state of the art algorithms for information and sensor fusion of among others camera, lidar and radar
• Create the environment model for the Autonomous Driving System of the future
• Responsibility for research, implementation and test of sensor fusion algorithms for tasks such as object tracking, semantic segmentation, optimization algorithms, SLAM or occupancy grid mapping
• Leverage tooling and automation, measuring everything to monitor and improve key metrics such as availability and performance

WHO YOU ARE

• Degree in computer science, electrical engineering, information technology or a comparable course of study, PhD is a plus
• Passion to shape the future by using the latest technologies
• Proficient skills in C++ - a plus is a GitHub profile
• Practical experience with agile methods and tools, love for clean code and scalable architectures
• As a plus you have experience in software development according to ASPICE and ISO 26262
