Job Description
This is a critical role within our ADAS team, created to fill a key vacancy and drive our current and future automated driving projects. The Map & Localization Expert will be instrumental in achieving mass production readiness for our ADAS map, architecting next-generation solutions for advanced ADAS functions & Highway/City NOA and AVP, and supporting strategic innovation projects. 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.

Responsibilities
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.
