Responsibilities & Key Deliverables
- Define, structure, and own the KPI framework for L2++/L3 features (e.g., ACC, LKA/LCC, lane centering, automated lane change, traffic jam assist) — covering safety, comfort, perceived quality, and system responsiveness metrics.
- Set and justify numeric targets for each KPI based on vehicle dynamics, benchmarking, regulatory limits, and customer experience goals.
- Build and maintain a clear mapping of which vehicle/control parameters influence which KPIs (e.g., how lateral acceleration/jerk limits affect ride comfort scores, how controller gains affect overshoot and settling time, how sensor latency affects time-to-collision margins).
- Work with controls, perception, and calibration teams to trace KPI shortfalls back to root-cause parameters and recommend tuning direction.
- Define and support validation/test strategy for KPI verification, including test tracks, scenario matrices, and objective measurement methods.
- Benchmark competitor L2++/L3 systems and translate findings into internal target revisions.




- Prepare KPI documentation aligned with relevant regulatory and ADAS standards (UNECE R79, AIS 197, ISO 26262, ISO 21448/SOTIF, and comfort/safety assessment protocols) for internal sign-off and homologation support.

Collaborate cross-functionally with system architects, software/controls engineers, test & validation teams, and OEM program management

Qualifications
- Bachelor's/Master's degree in Mechanical, Automotive, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, or related field.
- Solid, demonstrable understanding of vehicle dynamics (lateral, longitudinal, and vertical) and how dynamic parameters translate into ADAS/AD system KPIs.
- Prior experience defining, tracking, or validating KPIs/targets for automotive systems, ideally ADAS or AD features.
- Ability to independently analyze test/log data and connect KPI deviations to underlying vehicle or controller parameters.
- Robust documentation a
