ADAS Data Reprocessing Engineer (RO)

ADAS Data Reprocessing Engineer designs, develops standalone or as SPOC with a supplier and tests reprocessing tools in the functional performance test area.
Therefore, the Engineer analyzes and aligns the project requirements, creates input documents for the supplier, manage the supplier development and performs acceptance tests of supplier deliveries. Also rolling out of new tool versions and troubleshooting of the tools by tool own logs as well as collected records in project operational phase are in his responsibility.
He reports in the project to the Technical Project Manager for SW – Data Reprocessing and is the primary contact for tool supplier at his tool responsibility area. Reprocessing department developed tools are mainly the visualization, precision and correctness tools as well as reprocessing HIL’s and SIL’s. Based on the tool responsibility his internal collaboration partners are: Technical PMs for SW – Data Reprocessing, Feature Owner, Data Management, Vehicle Integration, Annotation, KPI Analysis, System Test as well as ECU Development departments (Sw, HW, Mechanics and System Architecture).
