The new ADAS feature development team designs and develops next generation automated features from the early concept development to production launch. We are seeking professionals with a passion for bringing innovative ideas to life who can contribute to our efforts in the development of new features, sensors, ECUs, models and software. This position focuses on model based software development and simulation for ADAS Features.  

What you'll do...

• Design, develop, and deliver the feature Simulink model to meet feature level requirements and integrate within the production embedded software environment.  
• Work with a team of system, hardware, software and controls engineers to deliver concept and production level software.  
• Develop and execute test cases for MIL/SIL verification of feature model function and evaluate feature model behavior and impact on customer experience.  
• Closely coordinate with feature development engineers to support execution of design verification plans to ensure proper feature-level performance.  
• Support data resim and bench testing of feature model and algorithms to assess & improve performance of features. 
• Ensure the feature model is properly delivered to meet software delivery & program timing.  
• Work with software team to integrate and autocode feature model for production software. 
• Support the validation of interfacing system/function models with the feature model. 
• Work with tool developers to integrate feature model in larger co-simulation and ECU simulation environments.

          You'll have...

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, System Engineering or related field 

• 1+ years experience with software development using MathWorks toolchain (Matlab / Simulink / Stateflow) in automotive domain or similar complex electromechanical systems 

   

  Even better, you may have..

• Master’s degree in Electrical, Computer Science, Mechanical, System Engineering or related field 
• 3+ years experience with software development using MathWorks toolchain (Matlab / Simulink / Stateflow) for algorithm and state machine development for ADAS applications  
• Experience with software implementation in AUTOSAR compliant framework. 
• Experience working in an Agile or V-Cycle software development environment. 
• Experience utilizing Simulink model based design to develop and verify hardware & embedded software systems. 
• Experience with ADAS and/or vehicle dynamics simulation tools (CarSim, CarMaker, monoDrive, Unreal, etc.). 
• Experience in ADAS systems or sensing or software. 
• Experience with Matlab Embedded Coder and Polyspace. 
• Initiative, resilience, a strong work ethic and a desire for continuous learning 
• Must be skilled at working in large team environments and interfacing with technical experts
