As a Software Architect - ADAS, you will play a key role in designing and delivering advanced algorithmic solutions for Level 2 and Level 2+ driver assistance technologies.
Combining deep technical expertise with end-to-end architectural ownership, you will translate complex requirements into scalable, robust, and high-performance solutions. You will lead technical initiatives from initial concept through implementation, integration, validation, and delivery.
Working closely with architects, systems engineers, and cross-functional development teams, you will drive technical alignment across algorithms, software, embedded systems, and other relevant technologies. Your leadership will help shape innovative ADAS solutions and advance the future of automated mobility.
Roles and Responsibilities
- Design and develop advanced algorithms, software architectures, and technical solutions for ADAS and automated driving applications, with a focus on Level 2 and Level 2+ functionalities.
- Lead complex technical initiatives throughout the development lifecycle, from concept and architectural design through implementation, integration, validation, and delivery.
- Drive technical alignment across software engineering, algorithms, embedded systems, data technologies, and other relevant engineering disciplines.
- Identify technical dependencies, perform root-cause analysis, resolve cross-functional challenges, and coordinate engineering activities to ensure successful delivery.
- Define and promote scalable, robust, and performance-efficient architectures, ensuring technical consistency and system-level integration across the technology stack.
- Act as a technical authority, providing architectural guidance, mentoring engineers, and influencing key technical and technology decisions without direct people management responsibilities.
- Collaborate with technical leaders, systems engineering teams, and other stakeholders to translate complex requirements into actionable solutions and drive continuous improvement of engineering practices.
Your Background
- Approximately 8-12 years or more of relevant experience in complex technical development, software architecture, system engineering, or technical leadership roles.
- Strong expertise in algorithm development, software engineering, and system architecture, with the ability to design scalable and robust technical solutions.
- Proven experience leading complex, cross-functional technical initiatives, taking ownership from initial concept through implementation, integration, and delivery.
- Solid understanding of embedded systems, software architectures, and system-level integration across multiple technical domains.
- Excellent analytical, root-cause analysis, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and resolve complex technical challenges.
- Strong communication, collaboration, and technical leadership skills, with the ability to influence architectural decisions and coordinate multidisciplinary engineering teams.
- Experience in ADAS, automated driving, or automotive technologies is strongly preferred. Relevant experience in robotics, autonomous systems, computer vision, AI/ML, or other advanced technology industries will also be considered. Knowledge of functional safety and SOTIF processes is an advantage.
