Position: Cloud Data Engineer for Autonomous Driving
Company: Luxoft
Experience required: 5y
English level: upper

There are millions of cars on the road today with solutions designed & implemented by us focusing on Autonomous Drive, Embedded Applications, Digital Cockpit, Connected Mobility & overall excellence in delivery.

The race is on to build fully autonomous vehicles. The first automaker to achieve the highest level of autonomous driving (AD) by building the better driver will not only lead the market, but also define transportation of the future. To do this, AD research and development (R&D) engineers and IT teams must collect and store a staggering amount of sensory data for analysis and interpretation to produce control systems that perceive information and accurately navigate the vehicle.

Our Robotic Drive platform provides toolkit and expertise that AD R&D and IT teams need to collect, manage and analyze massive amounts of sensor data from around the globe at significant speed to reduce time- and cost-to market in the race to develop fully autonomous vehicles.

Azure Data Engineer supports Robotic Drive opportunities mainly for the following phases
