Release Train Engineer

In the Continental Autonomous Mobility Artificial Intelligence Development Center we are creating the next generation of software solutions to power safety-critical systems and enable autonomous driving features in new vehicles around the globe. We are working towards Vision Zero, a goal to eliminate thousands of fatal accidents happening every day on the world’s roads. Our aim is to develop cutting edge techniques that sense and understand the vehicle environment.

Our teams also develop a wide range of ADAS functions (automated parking, safety systems, cruising functions) processing various automotive sensor data and providing robust and scalable components (perception, fusion, modelling). The mission of the AI Data Orchestration Release Train is to enable component development by efficiently managing data across the entire lifecycle — from data gathering, selection, and quality assurance to manual and automated labeling, simulation, and AI training.
