Responsibilities
A position has opened for a SW and HW architect who can contribute and lead the full system design of autonomous vehicles. With excellent understanding and knowledge of the electrical architecture, steering and braking systems as well as powertrain engineering.
You will lead, design and communicate the logical design system architecture, align both internally and externally and lead the implementation through the full development and deployment cycle - Design functional allocation (both HW & SW) per modules ( main focus is the interface between AD SW stack and the autonomous vehicle)
Design the SW abstraction layer between platform solutions and application layers for vehicles
In-vehicle verification of the designed system, creating a quick feedback loop with global development teams
