岗位描述
This role sits at the intersection of ADAS system architecture, perception technology, sensor fusion, embedded software, vehicle integration, and production delivery. The successful candidate will be responsible for defining the technical direction of perception and system solutions, guiding architecture decisions from concept to production, and ensuring that ADAS features meet performance, safety, robustness, scalability, and cost targets.
The position requires both strong hands-on technical depth and the ability to lead cross-functional engineering activities across perception, planning, control, systems engineering, validation.
Responsibilities
ADAS Perception and System Architecture
Define and own the perception and system architecture for ADAS L2, L2+, and L3 features.
Develop end-to-end architecture concepts covering:
Sensor suite configuration
Camera, radar, lidar, ultrasonic, and other sensor utilization
Perception algorithm structure
Sensor fusion strategy
Environment model design
Functional allocation between perception, prediction, planning, control, HMI, and safety layers
Translate feature-level requirements into system, subsystem, software, and component-level requirements.
Lead trade-off studies involving performance, cost, compute, packaging, latency, redundancy, scalability, and production feasibility.
Define scalable architectures that can support multiple vehicle platforms, trims, markets, and regulatory requirements.
Perception Technology Leadership
Provide technical leadership for perception functions such as:
Object detection and tracking
Lane, road edge, and free-space perception
Traffic sign, traffic light, and road marking recognition
Vulnerable road user detection
Sensor fusion and multi-object tracking
Occupancy grid or environment modeling
Localization-related perception interfaces
Guide the team in algorithm selection, architecture decomposition, performance optimization, and robustness improvement.
Work closely with AI/ML, computer vision, radar, LiDar, and embedded software teams to ensure perception solutions are production-ready.
Define perception performance metrics, KPIs, validation criteria, and acceptance thresholds.
Drive continuous improvement based on simulation, proving ground testing, public road data, corner-case analysis, and customer usage data.
