About the role

As a software development engineer and part of the Cruise Munich Embedded Systems team, you will be implementing challenging algorithms transforming high-bandwidth ADC radar data into meaningful multidimensional-detections for our cutting edge high-resolution radars. The Munich Embedded Systems team plans and implements the complete software stack for all Cruise High Resolution Radars. Starting with the drivers for the in-house designed hardware, developing the algorithms, building the firmware, as well as PC tools to demonstrate and verify the superior sensor performance.


What you’ll be doing

• You will specify and implement radar-processing units on a Tensilica DSP
• With your DSP experience you will perform resource and runtime estimations for multiple processing units and determine optimization mechanisms 
• You will develop the architecture of the radar algorithms on a multi DSP-based SoC including partitioning to the available SoC components.
• You drive the implementation of new or optimized algorithms as well as derive new signal processing concepts and validate them through system tests
• You will define and set up the DSP development toolchain
• With your understanding of radar systems and your experience on different processing platforms you ensure to achieve the best performance of our High-Resolution Radar
• You will work in an interdisciplinary team of multiple domain experts
