The automotive market in India is heading towards its doom as per the latest reports; however, as soon as the market stabilizes with electric vehicles and other car segments getting introduced, the markets could surge again.
A staggering 53.34% of the market share is occupied by Maruti Suzuki, while other contenders like Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Jeep, Renault, Ford, and others are trying to secure a fair share in the market as well.
Germany holds the rank of the largest car exporter in the world with a contribution of a whopping $151.9 billion, followed by Japan at $91.9 billion, and the U.S. at $53.8 billion.
China also now holds a humongous share of exporting automobiles across the world, with India also beginning to join the race with its rising worth in the industry.
Here are some job profiles at the senior and the top management levels:
The position of vice president is a voguish role in companies such as GE that has virtual validation platforms and requires skilled personnel for the position of virtual engineers.
Companies such as Capgemini and KPIT offer VP positions for DAS systems development. The sub-positions include:
Companies like Hella and Altran are actively recruiting people skilled in ML and AI to develop algorithms for Automated vehicle manufacturing.
This case study is meant to help you match your skills with the industry.
Here, we will talk about ADAS systems. We have sensors that include:
These sensors acquire information that gets inputted into the ADAS controller.
We design a control system model, develop an ADAS controller, and develop all algorithms such as adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking, lane departure warning, and other applications.
The next step is moving to the actuation system, which comprises:
The steps involved in the designing and testing of a system include:
To understand the criteria that you must meet to secure senior-level positions, here are some guidelines:
1. Inclination Towards Mathematics, Engineering, and Data
