ML Simulation Engineer

Help shape the future of mobility.

At Aptiv we design, develop, and validate systems to enhance the safety and comfort in the vehicle cabin. This includes the development of innovative software features and machine learning algorithms in the area of driver state sensing, seat occupancy monitoring, child presence detection, or hand gesture recognition using 2D and 3D cameras as well as other interior sensing technologies. Driver state sensing plays an important role not only to prevent road accidents caused by drowsiness or distraction of the driver, but also in the context of higher levels of automated driving, e.g. hand over scenarios.

Aptiv is a leader for in-cabin sensing technology and a well-established supplier of sensing and compute hardware as well as software solutions. In this fast growing and innovative technology area you would be working in an international team of computer vision and machine learning experts and software developers to shape the future of mobility with us.
