As part of our global team, you’ll experience exciting, varied responsibilities and a wide range of development prospects tailored to your unique career path.

About the role

We are seeking an experienced Perception Development Engineer specializing in automotive radar target tracking to develop next-generation safety and driver assistance systems. In this role, you will design and enhance tracking and stationary environment modelling algorithms that enable robust environment perception using radar sensors. You will work in a highly dynamic, multi-project environment, delivering high-quality solutions across multiple customers and programs. This position is ideal for engineers with a strong background in radar signal processing and multi-target tracking, with optional exposure to machine learning–based perception techniques.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop radar-based perception and target tracking algorithms for ADAS to improve perception performance, including extended object tracking and point cloud processing
• Implement and integrate algorithm software modules for embedded real-time systems and in-vehicle testing
• Analyze defects and test results to ensure KPI achievement by root causing issues and designing algorithm improvements
• Perform testing and validation (simulation, unit test, and vehicle-level) to ensure robustness and accuracy
• Collaborate with cross-functional and global teams to deliver end-to-end solutions
• Participate in Agile development, including process compliance, code reviews, and continuous integration
• Conduct technical research to explore new methods for improving system performance
• Thrive in a fast-paced, high-tech environment supporting multiple projects

Requirements

• Bachelor or Master degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or related fields (Master preferred)
• A minimum of 3+ years of industrial experience in one or more of the following areas: Extended Object Detection/Segmentation/Tracking, Point cloud processing in Lidar, Radar, Vision, or Sensor fusion
• Knowledge of probabilistic estimation and filtering techniques
• Experience with fast Machine Learning development cycles; solid experience applying Machine Learning technologies to Lidar, Radar, or sensor fusion is a plus
• Strong mathematical and problem-solving skills; knowledge of radar principles and measurement models is a plus
• Hands-on experience in algorithm development and realization in embedded real-time systems
• Strong debugging, performance analysis, and problem-solving skills
