ADAS Algorithms - Driving Functions (FSF)

About the team

You will join a focused team of domain experts building a greenfield, in-house L2+ ADAS software stack for Indian road conditions, covering four-wheelers and two-wheelers. The team designs and owns the complete architecture, algorithms, and tooling, from first principles through to deployment on automotive-grade ECUs. Engineers here shape foundational technical decisions, work directly with experts across perception, fusion, driving functions, motion control, and simulation, and see their work carried from concept to vehicle.

Role purpose

The Front Safety Architect leads the concept, architecture, and algorithm development of forward-facing safety functions: Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), and Front Cross-Traffic Alert (FCTA). The role spans the full development lifecycle, from requirements and algorithm design through simulation-based validation, embedded implementation, and in-vehicle tuning.

Key responsibilities

• Define the functional architecture for the Front Safety function family, including a shared critical-object-selection core and arbitration of warning and braking requests.
• Design and implement algorithms for critical object selection, threat assessment, and multi-stage intervention (warning, brake prefill, partial and full braking).
• Develop lane departure warning logic that is robust to degraded, missing, and non-standard lane markings.
• Develop cross-traffic alert logic for junction and turning scenarios.
• Derive stakeholder, system, and software requirements with measurable acceptance criteria, and ensure full traceability to verification.
• Define scenario catalogues for validation, covering NCAP protocols and India-specific traffic situations.
• Validate functions in closed-loop simulation and through resimulation of recorded vehicle data.
• Implement production-grade algorithms in C++ and support integration on target ECUs.
• Scale functions across four-wheeler and two-wheeler variants from a common architecture.
• Define and track KPIs: detection rate, false-activation rate, warning time, and speed reduction.
• Contribute to safety analysis in line with ISO 26262 and ISO 21448 (SOTIF).
• Author technical proposals and roadmaps for Front Safety functions.
• Provide technical guidance, design reviews, and mentoring.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree (PhD a plus) in a relevant discipline.

• 7–15 years of experience in ADAS algorithm development.
• Demonstrated ownership of AEB, FCW, LDW, or cross-traffic alert functions.
• Strong knowledge of collision-avoidance methods.
• Experience with object selection under real sensor limitations.
• Working knowledge of Euro NCAP / Bharat NCAP protocols and UN R152, UN R130.
• Working knowledge of ISO 26262 and ISO 21448 (SOTIF).
• Proficiency in C++ and Python.
• Experience with CarMaker, CARLA, or similar simulation environments.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience with ADAS SoCs such as TI Jacinto/TDA or Renesas R-Car.
• Experience designing shared object-selection or arbitration layers.
• Experience with two-wheeler ADAS or mixed traffic.
• Patents or publications in collision avoidance.
• Experience using AI-assisted software development tools.

Key competencies

• Ability to explain complex trade-offs clearly.
• First-principles problem solving.
• Ownership from concept to vehicle.
• Comfort building new systems.
• Experimental and evidence-driven mindset.

• Clear cross-functional communication.
