ADAS/AD Product Engineer

Your Role:

• Collaborate on projects related to various ADAS/AD components (e.g., camera, lidar, radar, ultrasonic sensor, ECU, autonomous compute platform, mechanical brackets).

• Ensure the timely delivery of high-quality ADAS/AD systems and components by actively participating in engineering, manufacturing, and integration processes.

• Work cross-functionally with internal teams, partners, and international suppliers to identify potential risks and opportunities for product integrity and user experience.

• Build quality control processes including IQC/OQC process, test plan, tools, to test and audit component and subsystem quality in manufacturing environment.

• Build formal systematic tools with key performance indicators, to track engineering and manufacturing deliverables, and enable continuous improvement in each stage of product lifecycle.

• Promote, and optimize the hardware/software delivery pipeline and tool chain with cross teams, to ensure information is shared in time with each stakeholder, and actions can be taken immediately to mitigate any validation or manufacturing concerns.

• Lead supplier management, especially management of contract manufacturing supplier, from standpoints of product delivery, and feature delivery, vehicle integration, and product quality.

• Ensure great communication between suppliers and internal teams to achieve seamless and robust vehicle integration and mass production.

• Represent ADAS/AD team to formalize process for diagnostics, fault tree analysis, and service procedures, supporting vehicle integration and troubleshoot at the plant, as well as following up on field issues.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Computer Science.

• 5+ years related experience, 3+ years with masters degree.

• Strong interest in working at the intersection of product design, engineering, manufacturing, integration, and quality.

• Proven track record of effective and timely execution and delivery of cross team projects.

• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written.

• Proven track record of working hand in hand with automotive OEMs/suppliers.

• Understanding of systems and components integration for automotive.

• Experience in designing, debugging, testing, and bringing up complex hardware/software systems.

• Familiar with efficiency tools such as JIRA, Tableau, Smartsheet, Lucidchart, JAMA, etc.

• Ability to identify and summarize engineering, manufacturing, and quality requirements, and translate into needed actions for suppliers and cross functional teams.

• Strong proactive mindset of owning complete complex projects with unconventional ideas in highly constrained, innovative startup environments.

• Willing to travel to support build issues and field issues.

Preferred:

• Product engineering experience in one of the ADAS/AD area, such as camera, radar, lidar, ultrasonic, ECU, domain controller, compute platform, or similar automotive systems and components.
• Previous experience as a product engineer, quality engineer, plant support engineer, or project engineer would be helpful.
• Understanding of basic autonomous driving hardware architecture, and their challenges.
• Understanding of basic architecture and interface of vehicle software and/or embedded software, and their challenges.
• Understanding of automotive manufacturing process, verification and validation process, and their challenges.
• Knowledge of sensor calibration and validation methods, and experience in various types of hardware/software integration tests.
• Knowledge of automotive communication standards such as CAN, LIN, Ethernet, etc, and experience of Vector tools such as CANoe.
• Knowledge of relevant regulations and applicable (safety) standards for typical ADAS features (e.g. ASPICE, ISO26262, FMVSS, EuroNCAP).
• Experience with automotive validation, including hardware durability and software integration.
