Meet the Group:The SDK Group is comprised of four teams; Inference Engine, Middleware, SDK Design & Release and the Software Images Team (SWIM Team.)The Inference Engine teamdelivers a cutting-edge software SDK designed to fine-tune deep learning frameworks for embedded chips. They're dedicated to optimizing performance, ensuring that their solutions drive the maximum efficiency of AI applications on embedded systems.The Middleware teamcreates a powerful framework which allows to move the virtual driver data across multiple ECUs. Therefore, they act as the glue between the vehicle hardware and the autonomous driver software. This covers Ethernet based low bandwidth applications as well as PCIe based high bandwidth applications.The Software Integration - Software Images (SWIM) teamcreates novel solutions to getting Application and Operating System Images to the vehicle. This covers the image building process itself, as well as the creation of deployment and data recording tools. Every day, Engineers use their tools to get the trucks loaded up with the latest software and out onto the road.The SDK Design and Release teamcreates safety and product requirements, as well as component and integration test cases to control the cyclic release process of the products of the group. With this work the team contributes to the high quality code in each release.What you'll do:As the Group Technical Lead you will cascade your expertise and provide technical guidance to four separate teams within the SDK group (Inference Engine, Middleware, SDK Design & Release and Software Images Team (SWIM Team.)You will be responsible for software development, including but not limited to, software design, algorithm development, implementation, unit testing, vehicle testing and deployed software maintenance while following quality, build, deploy and test processes, safety and process requirements and guidelines.
