Job Description
This position will guide and lead ADAS/AD team members from technical standpointThe role is responsible for performing application, verification and validation of ADAS features which are Lateral/Longitudinal control function (Lane Centering, Lane Keeping, ACC, ISA etc.)This task will also include understanding of ADAS feature requirements, defining application process and creating the verification and validation plan of these featuresThis role also requires to drive instrumented Audi vehicle on the public road, identify problematic scenarios and perform root cause analysis of all the corner cases where there are issues ADAS featuresThe role is to support the engineering development of ADAS/AD feature for series production. The focus is development US specific feature and validation of the same. The responsibility starts with creating scenarios for each feature and generating requirement specification for software developmentThis role will be working closely with Verification & Validation engineer to support deep dive analysis of measurement data to understand feature performance and root cause analysis. The position also will be responsible testing the ADAS feature in simulation environmentAs a part of job responsibility this position requires to coordinate with the function developers in US & Germany closelyApplication, Verification and Validation – in vehicle testing (20%)Developing application process, test plan for verification and validation of ADAS featuresInstrumenting test vehicle with measurement devices to capture data specific to test cases and scenarios. These include additional sensors (like camera, Lidar etc.) for ground-truth data collection along with Audi-specific measurement devicesTesting with pre-defined test cases on road (real life scenarios) and also identify, test all possible corner case scenarios to makes sure that features are performing as intendedData analysis, finding root cause and potential solution – (30%)Collect measurement data while performing on-road testing and perform analysis all relevant signals (hardware and software) in ADTF / Matlab-Simulink to understand and verify behavior of signals as per test cases. Most important is to understand the root cause of the problematic scenarios where function fails. It is expected that this position will further engage in discussion with the function owners and will find a potential solution of these problemsScenario creation for specific feature for US specific infrastructureRequirement specification creation and modelling the same in requirement toolTest catalogue creation for feature verificationCreation of validation strategy to detect corner casesOwnership of L2 features for US market introduction – (10%)Understanding requirement and design specification of developed featuresCreating test catalogue based on the design documentDesign and perform software in loop testing (regression testing)Integrate HW/SW in vehicle environment for integration testingSupport deep dive analysis of measurement data to understand feature performance and root cause analysisLeading and guiding ADAS/AD team members from technical standpoint (10%)Building technical competence of the team from defining calibration process, verification and validation for L2/L3/L4 systemParticipate in technical review processTechnically guide new team membersParticipate in hiring process for evaluating technical expertiseFoster culture of innovationDocumentation and Project Management (10%)All the test cases, result and bug-fixing needs to be managed in internal tracking system as this will be the input for sign-off of the software release in productionThis position is also responsible for overall management of the software release from planning, tracking and recommendation for sign-offDevelopment of Application and Validation plan for AD L3/L4 platformThis individual will be responsible for creating and supporting development plan for AD L3/4 platform for next generation platform.Once current platform is launched in production this will be the main responsibility for next generation platform.This individual will be responsible for creating model in MatLab/Simulink and checking the same in simulation environment.Once Model is verified this individual will translate the requirement in software (C ++) in Audi specific development, software integration and testing the same in SIL/HIL and vehicle.Once current platform is launched this will be one of the main responsibility for next generation platform
