Introduction
We are a German company with international presence in the UK and in the US, while we are headquartered in Braunschweig for design, development and production.
We make the future of mobility a reality.
We are looking for an experienced Algorithm Engineer for Perception & Sensor Fusion.
Your Tasks
- You develop, implement and validate algorithms for sensor fusion, object tracking, nonlinear state estimation, perception and/or occupancy grid mapping
- You work with real radar, camera and radar/camera fusion data and improve algorithm performance in realistic traffic, mobility and airborne scenarios
- You translate prototypes, research ideas and proof-of-concepts into robust, maintainable and testable software for product development and customer projects
- You define test cases, validation methods and performance metrics to evaluate detection, tracking, fusion, classification and mapping quality
- You analyze algorithm behavior in detail and improve robustness, accuracy, runtime performance and reliability under challenging real-world conditions
- You work on topics such as Kalman filtering, Bayesian estimation, multi-object tracking, sensor data association, object-level fusion and grid-based environment representation
- Depending on the project, your work may contribute to applications such as intelligent traffic infrastructure, ADAS, automated driving, drone detection, UAV/UAS tracking, airborne radar systems and radar altimeters
- You cooperate closely with embedded software, system engineering, testing and product teams to ensure reliable integration into our sensor platforms
- You contribute to technical decisions, code reviews, documentation and continuous improvement of our perception and sensor fusion software
Your Strengths
- You have completed a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Mathematics or a comparable technical field
- You have some years of full-time professional experience in industrial or commercial algorithm/software development after graduation (Internships, thesis work, student jobs and purely university-based projects do not count toward this requirement)
- You have practical experience in at least one of the following areas: sensor fusion, multi-object tracking, object detection, nonlinear state estimation, occupancy grid mapping, perception algorithms, probabilistic methods or statistical signal processing
- You are confident in programming with C or C++ and Python and can write structured, maintainable and testable code
- You have a solid mathematical foundation, especially in linear algebra, statistics, probability theory, estimation theory and optimization
- Experience with radar systems, camera systems, automotive sensors, ADAS, automated driving, intelligent traffic systems, embedded systems, real-time applications, drone tracking, UAV/UAS applications or airborne radar is a strong advantage
- You are able to analyze complex technical problems independently and turn your findings into reliable software solutions
- You work in a structured, delivery-oriented way and can balance technical quality with project constraints.
- You communicate clearly in English and/or German and can explain technical decisions to colleagues from different disciplines
What you can expect from us
- Innovation: latest technology, innovation and rapid development cycles, excellent work- and test equipment
- Pleasant working environment: informal culture, motivated teams, short communication channels, room for active participation
- Future-oriented workplace: modern buildings, offices and labs, permanent employment and individual training opportunities
- Attractive location: located directly next to the highway, direct bus stop at our facilities, parking facilities for cars and bikes, free charging of electric vehicles
- Flexible working: hybrid working (4 days office presence per week)
- Activities: team events, gym membership and more
- Other benefits
