Overview

Project description

Luxoft is working on an ADAS Domain Controller project for a prestigious OEM, working closely with the OEM teams to deliver next-generation Platform solutions based on AUTOSAR Classic, AUTOSAR Adaptive, and QNX working together as a system interacting with a host of cameras, ultrasound sensors, internal and external Radars. At Luxoft we are looking for experienced team members who deliver quality and expert support by being involved in AUTOSAR Classic Platform Configuration, Integration, and Release Management willing to take full responsibility for the deliverables and willing to support our customer in the development of the next generation system. The ideal candidate needs to have endless curiosity and can pair a global mindset with locally relevant execution. You should be a gritty problem solver, never give up attitude and self-starter who can think of out-of-box solution. The successful candidate will be a team player, and display a balance of hard and soft skills, including the ability to respond quickly to the Client's changing needs.
