Senior ADAS Function Developer – Safe Vehicle Automation

We are looking for an experienced Senior ADAS Function Developer – Safe Vehicle Automation to join a team responsible for developing, integrating, verifying, and validating advanced driver assistance and vehicle automation functions.

The role focuses on hands-on testing in complete vehicles, with an emphasis on real-world driving scenarios, customer-relevant situations, and the performance of advanced vehicle functions. You will plan and execute physical vehicle tests, analyze function behavior, identify deviations, and collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to improve safety, reliability, robustness, and overall customer experience.

The ideal candidate combines strong automotive testing knowledge with practical vehicle experience, structured verification methods, and a genuine interest in advanced driver assistance systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan, prepare, execute, and document vehicle-level testing of ADAS and active safety functions.
• Perform testing in complete vehicles on public roads and proving grounds using real-world driving scenarios.
• Verify and validate advanced driver assistance functions, including collision avoidance, low-speed assistance, driver support, and automated driving features.
• Prepare test setups, ensure test vehicle readiness, define test routes, and coordinate proving-ground activities.
• Define test scenarios, establish pass/fail criteria, and document test results, deviations, and observations.
• Evaluate functional behavior, performance, robustness, availability, usability, comfort, and overall driving experience.
• Analyze vehicle logs, test data, and system behavior to support troubleshooting and root-cause analysis.
• Provide clear, structured feedback to function developers, system designers, software engineers, and other stakeholders.
• Work with in-vehicle communication, diagnostics, and data logging tools to investigate system behavior.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify issues, track deviations, and drive continuous improvements.
• Utilize simulation, Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), and rig testing where appropriate to complement physical vehicle testing.
• Contribute to improving test methods, test efficiency, and verification processes.

Required Qualifications And Skills

• Bachelor's or master's degree in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Automation and Control, Automotive Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• Hands-on experience in complete vehicle testing, preferably within ADAS, active safety, automated driving, or other customer-facing automotive functions.
• Experience in planning, preparing, executing, and reporting physical vehicle tests.
• Good understanding of verification and validation methodologies, test scenario definition, pass/fail criteria, and deviation management.
• Ability to assess vehicle function performance from both technical and customer perspectives.
• Experience in vehicle data logging, diagnostics, and analysis of test results.
• Familiarity with automotive communication protocols and tools such as CANoe, CANalyzer, CANape, INCA, DLT, or equivalent.
• Basic scripting or automation skills, preferably Python, for test preparation, data processing, or log analysis.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• A valid Swedish B driving licence and the ability to conduct structured testing in real vehicles.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with HIL, SIL, simulation environments, test rigs, or CI/CD-based verification.
• Experience in proving-ground testing, customer-oriented fleet testing, or safety-driver activities.
• Additional driver training or experience in evaluating advanced driver assistance functions under different driving conditions.
• Familiarity with radar, camera, ultrasonic, lidar, and sensor-based perception systems.
• Experience in automotive software development, system integration, or function verification.
• Understanding of vehicle dynamics, active safety systems, and real-world driving scenarios.

Personal Attributes

• Self-driven, structured, and hands-on approach to engineering and testing.
• Strong interest in automotive technology, ADAS, active safety, and automated driving.
• Customer-focused mindset with the ability to evaluate how vehicle functions perform in everyday driving situations.
• Attention to detail and the ability to identify unexpected system behavior and potential safety risks.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to translate technical observations into actionable feedback.
• Collaborative mindset, with a willingness to share knowledge and work closely with development and verification teams.
• Adaptability and a continuous improvement mindset, with a focus on delivering safe, reliable, and intuitive vehicle functions.
