Expert ML Simulation Engineer

Aptiv is a leader in in-cabin sensing technology and a well-established supplier of sensing and computer hardware as well as software solutions. In this fast-growing and innovative technology area you would be working in an international team of computer vision and machine learning experts and software developers to shape the future of mobility with us.

At Aptiv we design, develop, and validate systems to enhance the safety and comfort in the vehicle cabin. This includes the development of innovative software features and machine learning algorithms in driver state sensing, seat occupancy monitoring, child presence detection, or hand gesture recognition using 2D and 3D cameras as well as other interior sensing technologies. Driver state sensing plays an important role not only to prevent road accidents caused by drowsiness or distraction of the driver, but also in the context of higher levels of automated driving, e.g. hand over scenarios.

Your Role

In your daily job you will:

• Develop, support and execute advanced simulations and software tool development for synthetic data generation for automotive interior sensing machine learning algorithms
• Modelling, texturing, rigging and animation of 3D assets, and building diverse scenes
• Minimize domain gap of synthetic and real data for training and testing of ML algorithms
• Work closely with machine learning engineers to understand data requirements
• Deployment of simulation render jobs on-premise and/or in cloud
• Writing high quality, tested and efficient software in Python for our AI/ML Simulation Stack
• Working in an Agile SW development team (SCRUM)
• Mentoring junior engineers
