  • Proficiency in programming languages such as C/C++, Python, or MATLAB for control system development and simulation.
  • Good understanding of autonomous vehicle technologies, including perception sensors (lidar, radar, cameras), localization, mapping, and motion planning algorithms.
  • Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and software frameworks used in autonomous vehicles, such as ROS (Robot Operating System).
  • Analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to debug control system issues in autonomous vehicles.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively communicate technical concepts.
  • Proven ability to work in agile, fast-paced environments and adapt to changing project requirements and priorities.
  • Familiarity with relevant industry standards and regulations for autonomous vehicles, such as ISO 26262, SAE J3016, IEC61508, ISO13849 and NHTSA regulations.
  • Experience with digital networking protocols ideally CAN or Ethernet based systems.
  • Experience setting up and running Hardware-in-Loop (HiL) testing.
