Engineer II, Autonomous Vehicle Project

Overview

Job Summary
Focusing on autonomous driving (AD) and advanced driver‑assist systems (ADAS) testing and development, this role validates the safety and reliability of self‑driving vehicles through real‑world and simulated tests. Responsibilities include operating vehicles in various conditions, monitoring ADAS features such as adaptive cruise control, logging data, identifying issues, and providing feedback to engineering teams. The role also develops advanced vehicle dynamics models using state‑of‑the‑art model‑based design (MBD) approaches to support AD and ADAS testing and development activities.

• Develop vehicle dynamics models using MBD to test and develop ADAS and AD system frameworks. Collaborate with third‑party institutions and universities to support safety standard development.
• Support establishing ADAS‑based data collection road maps. Log test data, identify anomalies and faults, and create detailed reports documenting system performance. Work closely with software and hardware engineers to troubleshoot issues and implement improvements based on testing feedback.
• Drive vehicles equipped with ADAS or autonomous systems on predefined routes and in different environmental conditions to evaluate performance. Observe and assess features such as lane‑keeping, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and other automated functions.
• Assist collections and processing of virtual and/or physical vehicle performance and emissions‑related data and communicate results to appropriate personnel.
• Perform miscellaneous job‑related duties as assigned.
