Algorithm Developer

In Application Development Center of Continental, we create next generation automotive software solutions which make automated driving safe and affordable. We work towards Vision Zero, a goal to eliminate fatal accidents happening every day on the world’s roads. We are looking for creative minds who are passionate to shape the future of automated driving by delivering software solutions for ADAS customer projects.

The complexity of future driver assistance systems grows continuously. The Vision 0 (injuries & accidents) and the autonomous mobility are strong drivers to develop this field. The development of modern algorithms for cutting-edge components (Radar, Lidar, Camera, Ultrasonic and Central Processing Unit) is one of the key area to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the environment around the vehicles
