AptivRadar Integration Engineer
Jan. 2019 - Oct. 2023Carmel, Indiana, United StatesDescription Provided By APTIV Analyze the interactions of millimeter wave radar signals with vehicle body components, including reflection, diffraction and refraction to predict the effects on radar measurements (target range, range-rate, azimuth angle, elevation angle), and ultimately predict the effects on vehicle functions that depend on radar data Innovate new analytical methods approaches, innovate new test methods, innovate new methods of visualization of complex data, continually increase Aptiv’s knowledge of the effects of vehicle body components on radar signal integrity, continually improve Aptiv’s service to our automotive OEM customers Interact extensively with automobile OEM customers in order to guide them in the design of vehicle components (including ones with complex geometries) through which radar signals pass, to achieve compatibility with automotive radars, while at the same time allowing maximum possible design latitude to our customers to meet their styling and manufacturing needs Be able to communicate highly technical concepts clearly and simply to customers and others that are not expert in the field Characterize and analyze the effects of microwave-frequency relative permittivity's and loss tangent values of plastics and paints on the performance of automotive radars Use and interpret anechoic chamber radar testing and methodology (including full 2D-scan testing to measure off-axis effects) to determine the effects of vehicle components on radars
