• Define system architecture, component packaging, electrical interfaces, operating parameters, and functional requirements.
• Support ADAS features such as Automatic Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, parking support, and camera-based systems.
• Create and maintain development schedules from concept through Start of Production.
• Coordinate project milestones, technical deliverables, and timing with suppliers and internal engineering teams.
• Review system requirements, supplier specifications, test plans, and validation results.
• Integrate ADAS software with vehicle hardware and electronic control units.
• Analyze CAN and CAN-FD data to evaluate system and vehicle performance.
• Perform vehicle, virtual, Model-in-the-Loop, and Hardware-in-the-Loop testing.
• Investigate software, hardware, and vehicle-level issues using structured root-cause analysis.
• Develop and implement corrective actions for testing, production, and field concerns.
• Use engineering quality tools such as DFMEA, DRBFM, and Fault Tree Analysis.
• Support vehicle evaluation, manufacturing, and launch activities at testing and production locations.
• Prepare parts lists, wiring specifications, technical reports, presentations, and other engineering documentation.
• Communicate project status, risks, recommendations, and technical findings to engineering leadership.
• Collaborate with local customers, suppliers, and international engineering teams.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics Engineering, or a related field.
• At least five years of automotive systems development, integration, or validation.
• Experience supporting medium- or large-scale ADAS programs from concept through production.
• Knowledge of vehicle electrical architecture, ECUs, CAN, and CAN-FD communication.
• Experience developing or validating ADAS features such as AEB, ACC, LKAS, BSM, parking assistance, and camera systems.
• Experience reviewing system requirements, test specifications, and supplier deliverables.
• Experience with root-cause analysis and corrective-action development.
• Programming knowledge in Python, C, or C++.
• Experience integrating embedded software with vehicle hardware.
• Experience analyzing vehicle network data and validating system performance.
• Familiarity with HIL, MIL, virtual simulation, or model-based development methods.
• Knowledge of DFMEA, DRBFM, FTA, or similar engineering quality tools.
• Strong project planning, organization, and task-prioritization skills.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate with international teams and senior leadership.
• Ability to travel to testing, manufacturing, supplier, or vehicle-event locations as needed.

Preferred Qualifications
