Autonomous Driving Researchers lead the research and development of cutting edge autonomous driving systems with the aim of expanding the technological capabilities of the Autoware project. TIER IV uses Autoware, a widely used open source autonomous driving software stack, to provide a wide range of applications, solutions and services related to autonomous driving. Autonomous Driving Researchers lead the research and development of cutting edge autonomous driving systems with the aim of expanding the technological capabilities of the Autoware project. Applicants must have a strong publication record in a related field, a Phd, and have demonstrated the ability to lead technological innovation in academia and/or industry. Ideally applicants will have an established research career with evidence of high achievement (academic prizes, high impact papers, contribution to industry etc). Applications to this role should include an English resume that conveys the depth of the applicants expertise and details the contributions of their research experience. Autonomous driving Researchers will: ・Develop technology to solve actual problems in cooperation with engineers in various technical fields ・Research novel autonomous driving solutions with the goal of operation on public roads ・Publish and present research results at international academic conferences ・Investigate, verify and extend cutting edge research papers on autonomous driving technology ・Contribute autonomous driving technology to OSS
