We are seeking an expert to ensure the quality and successful implementation of our map and localization services, which are fundamental to delivering a superior user experience.
Drive ADAS Map Mass Production and Quality Enhancement
- Develop the core ADAS Map service to meet all feature requirements and ensure a successful transition to mass production.
- Systematically identify and resolve ADAS map data quality issues, aiming to eliminate all P0 and P1-level defects to significantly reduce false alerts for functions like iACC and TSR.
- Define clear map requirements and solutions to support advanced features
Architect and Support ADAS Feature Development
- Lead the definition of map requirements and the formulation of technical specifications for upcoming advanced ADAS features, based on requests from the feature owner.
- Validate key ADAS map attributes, such as road curvature, within a simulation environment to guarantee full compliance with feature performance specifications.
Explore and Validate Map-Based Innovative Features
- Propose and develop at least one innovative, hardware-cost-neutral feature concept that leverages the existing ADAS map service.
- Provide collaborative support for key Proof of Concept (POC) projects, leveraging senior C++ development skills for integration tasks.
Architect Solutions for L2/L2+ Features and Regulatory Compliance
- Translate the latest L2 mandatory standards and evolving regulations into specific, actionable technical requirements for the map and localization system.
- Define and architect the high-quality map and localization solutions required to enable L2+ functionalities, such as highway/city NOA & AVP
- Collaborate closely with feature owners and system architects to create detailed specifications for map data attributes (e.g., lane models, curvature, topology), accuracy standards, and data update mechanisms.
- Design and oversee the validation strategy for the map solution in both simulation and real-world environments to ensure robust and safe performance of all L2/L2+ features.
Support Strategic & Innovation Projects
- Deploy AI model into the in-vehicle environment to enable core perception functionalities for innovation projects like "Adventure" POCs.
