ADAS / Autonomous Driving
Also written as ADAS, Advanced Driver Assistance System, Autonomous Driving, Self-Driving, Autonomous Vehicles, Sensor Fusion, Lidar
Car features that use cameras, radar and lidar to help or replace the driver: emergency braking, lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, parking assist and, at the far end, self-driving. The work spans computer vision, sensor fusion (combining what each sensor sees) and safety-critical embedded software.
Think of it like
A co-driver with eyes all round the car, who brakes or steers when the driver misses something.
Junior or senior?
Bengaluru, Pune and Hyderabad have large ADAS teams at carmakers and suppliers. Ask which layer: perception (vision models), sensor fusion, planning and control, or testing and validation.
Senior sounds like
Has shipped a feature to production cars and worked under ISO 26262.
Ask them
“Which part of the ADAS stack did you work on, and did your work reach production vehicles?”

Where this talent works in India — Embedded, Chips & Automotive
Target chip companies, automotive suppliers and device makers that own real design or software work in India: semiconductor and chip-design-tool R&D centres, carmakers' and suppliers' technology centres, and a growing set of Indian chip startups. Engineering-services firms are a fast pipeline, but check whether the candidate built the block or only tested someone else's.
For example: Qualcomm, Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Texas Instruments, NXP Semiconductors, STMicroelectronics, Infineon.
