System Engineer Interference Mitigation (m/w/d) - Product Line Detect

Will you shape the future of intelligent mobility? Become part of our VALEO team and revolutionize the experience of autonomous and connected driving.

Position: System Engineer Interference Mitigation (m/w/d) – Product Line Detect

Location: Bietigheim

Responsibilities

• Algorithm Development & Optimization: Design, simulate, and implement advanced interference mitigation techniques such as signal reconstruction, spatial filtering, frequency hopping, and adaptive thresholding to ensure robust detection in dense environments.
• Root Cause Analysis: Lead deep‑dive investigations into current project warning flags to identify specific interference patterns (mutual interference, environmental noise) causing performance degradation.
• Performance Benchmarking: Evaluate Valeo’s interference robustness against competitors and define the technical roadmap to achieve best‑in‑class status for upcoming RFQs.
• Project Support & Troubleshooting: Act as the Tier‑3 expert for running projects, providing rapid solutions for interference‑related issues identified during vehicle testing or customer validation.
• Standardization & IP: Drive the creation of Valeo internal standards for interference testing and contribute to the company’s patent portfolio to protect unique mitigation IP.
• Validation Framework: Define specific test scenarios and KPIs for crowded radar environments to be used in hardware‑in‑the‑loop and vehicle‑level testing.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree or PhD in signal processing, communication engineering, or physics.
• Deep theoretical and practical knowledge of radar interference mechanisms (noise floor rise, ghost targets, signal masking) in FMCW and PMCW systems.
• Advanced skills in digital signal processing, particularly non‑stationary signal analysis and statistical filtering.
• Expert proficiency in MATLAB or Python for algorithm modeling and large‑scale data analysis of raw radar returns.
• Proven ability to translate complex physical phenomena into mathematical models and implementable software requirements.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation package, performance‑related salary components and company pension scheme.
• Career development opportunities worldwide.
• Benefits include allowances for sports, health, pension scheme, canteen, employee parking, regular employee events, and family‑friendly support.
• Flexible working models to harmonize professional and private life.
• Flat hierarchies and modern working methods providing an innovative work environment.
• Collaborative work on future mobility trends.
