Role

Summary:

The Center of Excellence within the ADMT LLC focuses on applied research and pre-development with the goal to evaluate and/or develop and transfer innovative technology from industries and research institutions into the autonomous driving domain for technology/supplier decisions and to build the strategic base for a further development of a VW Group owned vertical integrated AD-stack. This specific role has the main focus areas: to know and understand the future of AI and to derive requirements on sensor technologies and compute architectures / technologies to develop reference processes, methods and tools need to enable, scale and industrialize MaaS/TaaS applications to implement those and define KPI to evaluate and benchmark these enablers for autonomous driving to conduct benchmarks and assessments to collaborate with internal and external partners.

Role Responsibilities:

• Software Development and Testing – (80%) Maintains, as well as furthers, and enhances existing machine learning modules for autonomous vehicles, not necessarily the software stack for driving but methods around industrialization of MaaS/TaaS and with that to increase availability of service Designs and implements new machine learning based approaches based on existing frameworks Keeps up to speed with the state of the art of academic research and technology in the industry Tests developed modules in the prototype vehicle (unit tests, integration tests, in-vehicle/field tests, etc.)
  
  Analyzes and evaluates conducted tests Presents project/progress reports and presentations to top management, mentors, partners, and project affiliates Transfers technologies and solutions to ADMT GmbH, CARIAD Manages and coordinates the tech scouting process
• Network Development – (10%) Expands research network between ADMT LLC and local entities Initiates and implements partnerships with external partners (companies, research institutions, universities) within Silicon Valley and US Transfers project outcomes to internal Volkswagen Group partners (ADMT GmbH, CARIAD) Communicates regularly and influences partners in Germany
• Strategic Management – (10%) Secures intellectual property
