The Software Defined Vehicle will increase the vehicle’s compute capability, be connected, and allow for faster software development cycles. As a Software Simulation Developer, you will be on the forefront of realistic automotive software-in-the-loop simulation environments creating highly optimized, largely automated, high-fidelity vehicles on demand which are capable of running thousands of simultaneous scenarios on cloud compute.
The simulations support algorithm development and validation of the Software Defined Vehicle architecture and protocols as well as algorithm development of hands-free driving in all situations, active safety features, in-vehicle Infotainment, and embedded control among others. The main areas of focus are controller virtualization, bus communication, optimization, HMI, and sensor modelling. You will be working cross-collaboratively with many teams to integrate these systems into a wider CI/CD toolchain and data analytics pipeline.
