About The Position

The Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) department is responsible for ensuring that the subsystems of an automated or highly automated vehicle work together seamlessly to produce a safe, compliant, high performing vehicle that meets the needs of our customers. We are seeking an experienced engineer to take a prominent role in our ADAS Systems Applications Team focused on domain controller, camera, radar and ultrasonic systems. This team is responsible for conducting system level root cause analysis at the vehicle application level and determining necessary actions to apply systemic corrective action, preventing the reoccurrence for current and future architectures. As a systems engineer, you will work across the System V in all areas of ADAS. You will lead root-case analysis with internal functions and suppliers to ensure the vehicle system achieves ADAS feature requirements and performance. You will collaborate with a variety of cross-functional teams from early prototype builds through the vehicle launch in modules including IPMA, BCM, ABS, APIM, IPC, etc. on all programs. In this role you will be interpreting, managing, writing, and validating ADAS requirements, facilitating an overall improvement of ADAS systems and features. You will have the opportunity to provide mentorship to other engineers on our team while managing complex system robustness actions that will flow into the development of next generation system requirements. You will be exposed to rapidly growing fields including automated vehicle technology, embedded systems for domain controllers, vision systems, Functional Safety, and cybersecurity.
