The Simulation Applications group plays a critical role in delivering value to ADAS customers for the Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) ecosystem, across the product lifecycle (development, testing, validation, calibration, post-sale). This includes collaboration with customers to gather feature requests, act as the voice of the customer, and uncover new or hidden customer needs. The group establishes a robust go-to-market strategy for SiL as an internal tool and develops a comprehensive SiL product roadmap.
The team is responsible for creating high-quality requirements for downstream teams managing architecture, development, and integration. They handle new tested releases, manage customer releases, provide on-call support, collect customer feedback, and ensure that customers succeed and derive tangible value from SiL.

• Resolving bugs and issues independently, while triaging and escalating complex problems to development teams as needed.

• Integrating and customizing SiL for customer-specific needs by adapting model parameters and collaborating with vendors, internal ECU software teams, and physical model providers to curate relevant information.

• Defining and executing fidelity analyses to compare SiL results to real-world performance and highlighting gaps to inform future development priorities.

The group plays a pivotal role in ensuring that SiL evolves into a high-impact product that meets the demands of the ADAS organization.
