**About the Company**

At Torc, we have always believed that autonomous vehicle technology will transform how we travel, move freight, and do business.

A leader in autonomous driving since 2007, Torc has spent over a decade commercializing our solutions with experienced partners. Now a part of the Daimler family, we are focused solely on developing software for automated trucks to transform how the world moves freight.

Join us and catapult your career with the company that helped pioneer autonomous technology, and the first AV software company with the vision to partner directly with a truck manufacturer.

**Description**

The thesis targets the improvement of our Lidar sensor model and its validation for L4 autonomous driving.

The current Lidar sensor model is based on raytracing. However, the literature shows that some physical effects are currently not considered such as beam divergence.

Scope of the thesis
- Implementation of more detailed physical effects based on the currently used Lidar sensor model. Models are based on existing raytracing results from the used simulation tool and the scope is the generation of Lidar point clouds
- Methods for calibration of model parameters using measurements, e.g., get valid intensity or reflectivity.
- Validation of implemented Lidar sensor models with distinct levels of fidelity for different simulation use cases
- Related Literature:_

At Torc, we're committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. We celebrate the uniqueness of our Torc'rs and do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, veteran status, or disabilities.
