We are running a paid 90-minute video interview focusing on autonomous driving and ADAS engineering pipelines. We want to speak with experienced engineers about their development workflows, tooling choices, and map data integration.
What We're Researching
We're running a paid study on the engineering pipelines that power modern autonomous driving and ADAS systems. We want to understand the high-level organizational structures, tooling decisions, and integration strategies teams use to build these complex platforms. This research helps us map the current landscape of autonomous vehicle development workflows. How It Works
You will join a 90-minute remote video interview with our research team to discuss your day-to-day engineering environment. We will ask you to walk us through your team's approach to map data integration, pipeline architecture, and tooling selection. The conversation will remain at a high level to ensure no proprietary algorithms or confidential company details are discussed. You will simply share your general professional perspective on industry standard practices and workflow challenges. Who This Is For
We welcome autonomous driving engineers, ADAS pipeline architects, and mapping integration specialists with hands-on development experience. You should be comfortable discussing organizational tooling and engineering workflows at a high level. We are particularly interested in professionals actively building or managing data pipelines for autonomous vehicle platforms.
What you would do
• Join a 90-minute remote video call to discuss your engineering environment.
• Walk us through your team's approach to map data integration and tooling.
• Describe high-level organizational workflows for ADAS development.
• Share your perspective on pipeline architecture without disclosing proprietary algorithms.
Who this is for
• Professional experience in autonomous driving or ADAS engineering
• Familiarity with map data integration and pipeline architecture
• Comfortable discussing high-level development workflows and tooling choices
