• The mission of Valeo’s Ultrasonic Systems Product Line is to be the World Leader for Ultrasonic and Automated Parking Systems within the automotive industry by developing innovative systems and providing situational awareness solutions using cutting edge technology.
• Our System Platform engineer is responsible for bridging the activities between Platform, projects and system team during design, development and performance of vehicle testing activities for driver assistant functions e.g. base park assist, automated parking, collision avoidance, blind spot detection etc. Furthermore, the individual is responsible for evaluating vehicle validation needs, analyzing test requirements along with highlighting deviations and risks for new projects to extended team.
• The individual should also support customer demonstrations, provide estimates for vehicle system work efforts, perform various vehicle active safety feature testing in the test track, generate test reports etc.
• Participate in applicable design reviews and packaging of Active Safety components such as Ultrasonic sensors and cameras.
• The individual should be directly involved with Platform team (HW, SW and Systems) to ensure optimal performance is attained during integration between sensors and vehicle.
• Assist in corrective or preventive action root cause analysis, implementation and verification. Should demonstrate high-level proficiency of System architecture (component interactions and data processing/motion planning), this is required to fully understand vehicle dynamics during collision mitigation or automated parking.
• Be part of configuration management process regularly. Set up demo environments for OEM VP vehicles and perform tuning and validation for production intend platforms. Support the team in validation efforts, provide support to project technical leads and participate in review meetings, maintain a good information bridge with System and software team, as well as with global platform/P2 teams. Furthermore, the individual is responsible for ensuring system performance is adequate as agreed with the project team and to customer specifications while creating and maintaining Valeo specific documents according to internal rules and guidelines.
