Job description

Position Overview

SYLUX is seeking a highly motivated Senior Vehicle Application Software Engineer to join our team in Farmington Hills, Michigan. This position will focus on the development, integration, and validation of advanced software features for SYLUX automotive infrared perception and safety systems.

The Vehicle Application Software Engineer will bridge software development, vehicle integration, ADAS feature development, and real-world validation. The role will transform SYLUX infrared camera and CDAT AI perception capabilities into functional vehicle features, including Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Rear AEB, Safe Door Opening, Adaptive Cruise Control, and other next-generation safety applications. This is a hands-on engineering position that requires software development and direct interaction with vehicles, sensors, CAN networks, test equipment, and demonstration platforms.

Key Responsibilities

Software Development

Design, develop, integrate, and validate software features utilizing SYLUX infrared cameras and CDAT AI perception software.

Develop, maintain and optimize a globally shared vehicle application used across the engineering teams.

Translate system and customer requirements into functional software features and vehicle-level behaviors.

Support feature development from proof-of-concept to customer-ready vehicle demonstration, validation, and customer evaluation.

Develop algorithms that convert perception output (object classification, distance, tracking, vehicle speed) into vehicle warnings, decisions, and control actions.

Perform driver and kernel-level hardware bring-up, diagnosing and resolving low-level driver and kernel module installation issues.

Extend perception-based feature logic to support new and evolving ADAS applications, including:

o Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

o Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)

o Rear Automatic Braking (RAB)

o Safe Door Opening (SDO)

o Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)

o Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

o Parking and Low-Speed Safety Features

o Additional infrared-enabled ADAS and automated driving applications


Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related technical discipline.

5+ years of software development experience, preferably within automotive, ADAS, robotics, autonomous driving, embedded systems, or perception technologies.

Experience with automotive infrared, camera, radar, LiDAR, or other perception sensors.

Experience developing real-time or multi-threaded software applications.

Experience with automotive vehicle networks, CAN bus interfacing tools (CANalyzer / kvaser)

Experience with DBC database structures and CAN signal encoding/decoding.

Familiarity with ROS2 framework

Experience with low-level hardware interfaces RS232, SPI, GPIO, Ethernet/UDP, and USB.

Experience working in Linux or NVIDIA development environments.

Experience with Git or similar version-control systems.

Strong programming skills in Python and/or C++.

Ability to produce clear technical documentation, such as system / vehicle architecture diagrams.

Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary and international engineering teams.


Travel

Approximately 15-25% travel, including customer demonstrations, vehicle testing, proving-ground activities, data collection, trade shows, and support of SYLUX programs in the United States and internationally.
