Job Responsibilities:

• Research new technologies and create new application ideas for connected and autonomous vehicle.
• Research new technologies and techniques to improve existing wireless technologies, such as V2X, for safety, autonomous, and other transportation-related applications.
• At times perform hands-on duties such as electrical wiring or mechanical installations, such as building test vehicles, and implement the new technology and/or applications.
• Conduct both in-lab and in-vehicle test and data analysis.
• Participate in internal / external brainstorming meetings to generate new application ideas.
• Collaborate with device vendors, industry consortiums, universities, or other internal departments.

Job Specifications:

Minimum:

• General knowledge of communication protocols such as 802.11x, DSRC, and/or LTE protocols
• Hands-on experience with GNSS receivers, at least basic understanding of GNSS and vehicle localization
• 3 years of programming in C or C++ in academia or industry
• General engineering experimental and analytical skills using common tools (e.g. Matlab).
• Highly motivated, highly disciplined work ethic
• Good Project Management Skills – Must be able to deliver a project on time
• Masters of Science degree (4-year Bachelor of Science degree with extensive experience will be considered as well) in any one of the following disciplines: computer engineering, software engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, or communications engineering.

• Willingness to work in multi-cultural environment.
• Have a passion to create and try new ideas.
• Effective verbal and written communication skills.
• Work cooperatively with others.
• Eager to quickly learn by searching and reading, by example, and by trial and error.
• Take higher-level requests and ideas to completion independently.
• Demonstrate inventiveness.
• Able to work from requirements that are not always clearly defined
• Does not mind working on new and diverse things as opposed to developing perfection in one area.
• Travel will be needed.

       Preferred:

• Familiar with either telematics, networking, wired, wireless, in-vehicle, or V2V/V2I/V2P
• Embedded Linux software development.
• Engineering experimental and analytical skills using Python is preferred.
• Familiar with communications protocols. (Examples: UDP, TCP, IEEE802.11, IEEE 1609.X, CAN, V2V, V2I, V2X, SAE J2735, SAE J2945)
• Programming for interfacing between devices. (Examples: reading sensor via serial port, processing an analog signal, etc.)
• Programming within Unix-based operating systems, such as Linux.
• Programming in JAVA, Matlab/Simulink or Python.
• Android Programming
• Experience with structured software development such as software version control, interpreting/documenting requirements, and peer review
• Ability to interface devices at hardware level, especially within vehicle, specify in a document these interface in clear form. For example: ability to build simple wiring harnesses and route wiring between the communication devices and the main development platform.
• Experience developing software for processing the output of GNSS receiver (e.g NMEA) for example for visualization of the vehicle’s path 
• Familiarity with sensor processing platforms such as Robot Operating System (ROS), Elektrobit ADFT, RTMaps and Polysync.
