TEAM

The Human System Integration team is developing the human machine interface (HMI), which helps ensure that drivers can use advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) safely and securely. As ADAS replaces part of human cognition, judgment, and operation, we aim to promote mutual understanding between the car and humans through HMI and deliver safe, reliable mobility to more people in more places. HMI development has many driver features and directly contributes to the improvement of the car’s product appeal, thus making a significant contribution to car manufacturing.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

You will develop HMI control applications to cover advanced driver assistance systems. Our application depends on information from the vehicle control application and sensors, and also generates interactive notifications on the Meter, HUD and multimedia systems, you will need to establish cooperative relationships with other hardware and software engineers. We are involved in many projects from the planning and conceptualization phase to the development phase, and therefore we are looking for engineers with solid coding skills, extensive knowledge of software development, and logical thinking abilities to derive optimal solutions. The ideal candidates will be able to lead the team, work independently to complete tasks, and communicate smoothly with stakeholders around them.
