Product Manager - Simulation

About the Team

This team is responsible for managing the portfolio of products and services used in driver assistance and autonomous driving vehicles. The scope covers all related products in HERE’s portfolio, from standard definition data for driver assistance solutions to centimeter-accurate lane data & services for hands-free driving. Additionally, the team will develop immersive in-car use cases and software products to highlight the benefits of driver assistance. We handle topics and processes related to the creation of new offerings, ranging from ideation, pricing, development, and taking solutions into the market. To achieve this, we participate in various activities with partners and customers to capture the market needs. The team has a vision to make autonomous driving become a reality for everyone and in every market.

As ADAS/AD moves towards model-driven intelligence, industry value is extending from map delivery to model training and validation. HERE can convert its map and drive data into a scalable AI model-creation platform, capturing significant value from training, validation, and next-generation ADAS/AD performance.

It’s the growth of HERE’s AI-model creation platform that turns maps and drive data into reusable spatial intelligence, powering scalable training, validation, and next-generation ADAS/AD performance.
