As a Software Algorithm Engineer at Aptiv's Gothenburg Technical Center, you will join our Radar Perception team, contributing to the development and validation of advanced driver assistance and automated driving (ADAS/AD) technologies.

You will focus on vehicle-level testing of perception and feature algorithms, working hands-on with test vehicles, radar sensors, and the latest hardware and software releases.

Through real-world driving evaluations and dedicated test track activities, you will help assess algorithm performance, identify improvement opportunities, and support the delivery of reliable automotive solutions.

Working in an Agile environment alongside experienced engineers and cross-functional teams, you will also contribute to customer demonstrations, technical investigations, and continuous improvement of testing methodologies.

Roles And Responsibilities

• Evaluate and validate ADAS/AD perception and feature algorithms through vehicle-level testing in real traffic conditions and on dedicated test tracks.
• Perform hardware and software integration, updates, and maintenance of test vehicles, ensuring timely vehicle readiness for testing and customer demonstrations.
• Conduct early vehicle testing of new radar hardware generations and software releases, analyzing performance and providing technical feedback to development teams.
• Collaborate within an Agile/Scrum team to support algorithm testing, ADAS/AD development activities, customer demonstrations, and business development initiatives.
• Investigate technical issues, troubleshoot hardware and software integration challenges, and support problem resolution across ongoing projects and programs.
• Coordinate testing priorities and respond to evolving requirements from technical leaders and stakeholders, ensuring timely delivery of testing activities and customer value.
• Participate in technical discussions, customer demonstrations, and continuous improvement initiatives related to radar perception, development tools, and testing environments.

Your Background

• University degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Control Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent qualifications.
• Experience in ADAS/AD algorithm development and testing, with a strong understanding of radar perception, feature solutions, and scenario-based algorithm evaluation.
• Hands-on experience in software integration, performance testing, test vehicle instrumentation, and automotive hardware/software validation.
• Strong knowledge of vehicle electrical and mechanical architectures, power modes, radar phenomena, and potential performance improvement measures.
• Practical experience with automotive communication technologies, including CAN, FlexRay, Ethernet, gateways, and time-synchronization protocols.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills, with a structured and proactive approach; fluent English, both written and spoken.
• Valid Swedish driving licence, with the ability to conduct vehicle testing in real-world and test track environments.
