You inspire us with that:

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Systems Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or Electrical Engineering.

• System Engineering Experience: Proven track record as a Function Owner or System Engineer in the ADAS domain, with experience in requirement management tools (e.g., DOORS).
