Team charter:

The Advanced Technologies and Autonomy team is responsible for delivering highly available, high quality systems to enable NIO’s autonomous driving vehicles. Our mission is to provide the next generation of hardware, software and algorithmic solutions. This includes but not limited to sensing, compute, storage as well as vehicle controls and safety system compute.

What we work on and develop:

· Autonomy hardware and software architecture

· Design, development, integration, and test of autonomous compute and sensing hardware

· Mass storage and Event Data Recorders

· Vehicle and Safety Controller HW and related functions

· Environment and Sensor modeling and simulation

· Autonomy AI and Controls

· Autonomy R&D Tools

· Autonomy compute and sensing HW and SW redundancy

· Sensing, GPS and IMU hardware, software, and integration

· Autonomy compute communication (sensing, compute, and controller inter-ECU communication)

Purpose of the Role:

You will be part of a team working towards NIO's autonomous vehicle vision, including Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. You will be responsible for creating tools including the primary visualization elements to display the sensed and mapped surrounding of the vehicle, intended paths and vehicle dynamics, and predicted actions of other vehicles and pedestrians surrounding the vehicle. Additional tools include frameworks for training vision and learned models, methods for verification and KPI generation against our data set, provide the ability to parse large data sets and manipulate sensed and perceived data, and advanced debugging of our system. The tools and integration team will work with every group within the Advanced Technology organization to provide world class tools, and integration of these technologies.
