Your Role

A radar integration engineer guides Aptiv's automotive OEM customers in the design of vehicle body components (fascia, grilles, bumpers, etc.) to achieve compatibility with millimeter-wave radar sensing in order to successfully integrate Aptiv's automotive radars into vehicles having active-safety and autonomous driving functions. These vehicle components include grilles and fascia with various configurations that can include sub-wavelength geometrical features and have complex interactions with the millimeter-wave signals passing through them. In-depth job-specific training will be provided by a radar integration engineer.

• 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.
• Use Electromagnetic simulation tools to quantify the effects of RF signals passing through various materials.
• Interact extensively with automobile OEM customers 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.

• Characterize & analyze RF characteristics, including loss tangent and relative permissivity values of plastics and paints, on the performance of automotive radars.
• Work with and modify 3D CAD geometry to create simulation models.
• 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.
• Manage multiple customer projects and timelines.
• Have a working knowledge of MATLAB to utilize and develop data processing tools.

• Masters in Mechanical / Electrical Engineering, Physics, or associated field
• Master's degree in Mechanical/Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field.
• Strong analytical skills with expertise in electromagnetics and radar principles.
• Hands-on experience with electromagnetic simulation tools like FEKO, CST, HFSS.
• Proficient in MATLAB, Python, or similar platforms for data processing and scripting.
• Prior knowledge of radar design and automotive industry experience.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD tools such as NX, Catia.
• Excellent communication skills with fluency in English.
• Familiarity with SCRUM, AI, and machine learning concepts.

• You can grow at Aptiv. Whether you are working towards a promotion, stepping into leadership, considering a lateral career move, or simply expanding your network - you can do it here. Aptiv provides an inclusive work environment where all individuals can grow and develop, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or beliefs.

• You can have an impact. Safety is a core Aptiv value; we want a safer world for us and our children, one with: Zero fatalities, Zero injuries, Zero accidents.

• You have support. Our team is our most valuable asset. We ensure you have the resources and support you need to take care of your family and your physical and mental health with a competitive health insurance package.

• Higher Education Opportunities (UDACITY, UDEMY, COURSERA are available for your growth and development).
• Life and accident insurance.
• EAP Employee Assistance.
• Access to fitness clubs (T&C apply).
