Algorithm Engineer

About the Role FutureStarter role at ZF within the ADAS & HPC business, focused on shaping the future of mobility. You will design and iterate multi-modal fusion algorithms for camera and radar, and contribute to perception systems for mass-production vehicles. This role is part of an exciting growth phase as the team advances driver assistance and high-performance computing technologies. What You'll Do

• Design and iterate multi-modal fusion algorithms for camera, millimeter-wave radar and etc.
• Implement core functions including 3D object detection, multi-object tracking, classification, velocity & pose estimation, and environmental semantic modeling.
• Responsible for overall system architecture design, interface definition and data flow optimization of the perception fusion module.
• Establish standard pipelines for sensor time synchronization, coordinate unification, cross-sensor object association and fusion confidence evaluation.
• Analyze massive real road test data, identify and resolve core perception issues including false detection, missing detection, object jitter and trajectory drift under challenging scenarios.
• Complete full-loop algorithm tuning and strategy iteration to improve the stability, accuracy and consistency of 360° full-scene perception for mass-production vehicle. What We're Looking For
• Master’s degree or above in electrical engineering, robotics engineering, computer science, automotive, mechanical engineering.
• Proficient in core fusion theories including Kalman Filter, data association, Hungarian algorithm, Bayesian estimation and multi-object tracking.
• Solid knowledge of 3D geometry, coordinate transformation.
• Proficient in C++ and Python programming.
• Familiar with Linux development environment, CMake compilation and debugging tools.
• Practical experience with Sparse4D, BEV Fusion, Memory Bank and other state-of-the-art temporal perception fusion frameworks.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Strong sense of ownership and accountability, teamwork.
• Fluent English oral and written skills to communicate with global algorithm team. Nice to Have
• Experience with temporal perception fusion frameworks such as Sparse4D, BEV Fusion, Memory Bank. Compensation & Benefits
• Global development opportunities and cross-border collaboration.
• Flexible working environment and supportive, team-oriented culture.
• Opportunities for personal growth and shaping the future of mobility.
