Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement and validate a camera-based lane detection and tracking pipeline for ADAS applications.
• Develop and optimise neural network models for lane marking and lane boundary detection.
• Build robust lane tracking and geometry modelling algorithms for real-time vehicle perception.
• Develop and refine Lane Departure Warning logic, including vehicle state estimation and warning strategies.
• Optimise perception software for embedded automotive hardware while meeting real-time performance requirements.
• Collaborate closely with systems, integration and validation teams to support vehicle-level testing and deployment.

Required Experience & Skills

• At least 4 years' of post-academic industry experience developing computer vision or perception systems for ADAS or autonomous driving applications.
• Strong Python development skills with hands-on experience using PyTorch for deep learning.
• Excellent C++ programming skills for production software development.
• Experience with semantic segmentation, lane detection, object detection or related perception algorithms.
• Strong understanding of camera calibration, image processing, perspective transformation and classical computer vision techniques.
• Experience with tracking algorithms such as Kalman Filters, Extended Kalman Filters or Particle Filters.
• Knowledge of lane geometry modelling, curve fitting or vehicle localisation techniques.
• Experience deploying AI models onto embedded or automotive compute platforms.
• Understanding of real-time software constraints within automotive systems.

Why Apply?

• Work on cutting-edge AI and computer vision technology that directly improves vehicle safety.
• Join a highly experienced international engineering team solving complex real-world perception challenges.
• Develop production software deployed on next-generation automotive platforms.
• Hybrid working model with a collaborative engineering culture based in Munich.
• Long-term contract opportunity with exposure to advanced embedded AI, computer vision and automotive technologies.
• Play a key role in shaping the future of intelligent mobility and driver assistance systems.
