Auburn Hills, MI

Seeking a talented Senior Design Engineer to join our global team and will be responsible Oversee the Design, implement, and validate in-vehicle camera visualization features (rear view, 360° surround/bird’s-eye, trailer assist, recording/streaming) across embedded SoC and ECU platforms development lifecycle, from planning and design to implementation and testing. Ensure timely delivery and high-quality output.

Role and Responsibilities:

  • Feature design & requirements: Translate UX/PM requirements into technical specs and acceptance criteria.
  • Image pipeline development: Implement and tune ISP stages (denoise, HDR merge, color, distortion correction).
  • Integration: Integrate camera drivers (GMSL/FPD/CSI), SerDes, and SoC video pipelines; manage calibration flows.
  • Validation & HIL: Create HIL/image‑injection tests, automated regression, and field test plans to validate latency, stitching, and artifact rates.
  • Safety & compliance: Contribute to ISO 26262 work products, ASPICE artifacts, and FMVSS111 considerations.
  • Cross‑team coordination: Work with UX, safety, firmware, and manufacturing for production readiness.

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in an engineering Discipline – Computer Science, Electronics & Communication, Electronics & Computer, Electrical & Electronics

  • 8+ years of overall experience

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Embedded software: C/C++, Python, Linux BSP, Yocto, driver debugging
  • Image Processing: OpenCV, ISP tuning, HDR fusion, denoise, demosaic, geometric undistortion, seam‑aware stitching
  • Interfaces: MIPI/CSI, GMSL, FPD, SerDes, I²C
  • Platforms: Linux BSP, Yocto, embedded SoC video pipelines, hardware accelerators, DMA
  • Validation: HIL, image injection/video replay, objective IQ metrics (PSNR/SSIM variants), subjective panel correlation
  • Tools: Video replay systems, PXI, trace/profiling tools, calibration rigs
  • Standards: ISO 26262, ASPICE, FMVSS111, ISO/SAE 21434 basics
  • Automotive Infotainment/Cluster/Display SW Architecture
  • Agile methodology, ALM (Jira)
  • Software development best practice and quality: ASPICE, Unit testing, SW Quality, SW life cycle
