Driverless Engineer vacancy
SENSOR ENGINEER
General description HARD
HARD is a multidisciplinary formula student team consisting of motivated students from a variety of different studies from the Hanze UAS and University of Groningen. As a team we try to build a race car which we can compete with at a formula student event. HARD has different teams, where the mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and driverless engineering teams fall under the engineering department and the marketing, event and acquisition teams fall under the communication department. All volunteers spend one or more years with the team in order to apply the theoretical knowledge they gathered in a practical environment.
Description of function
As a sensor engineer in the driverless division, you will be responsible for the sensors located on the car. Without LiDARS and a camera the car will not be able to drive! You will mainly be working on setting up the hardware on the car (together with an electrical engineer), and writing the firmware communication protocols needed to make sure the sensors can communicate with the software driving the car.
