Ask HN：在后端领域感到力不从心。如何转型进入汽车软件行业？
2 分•作者: culopatin•6 个月前
我拥有十年的复合型经验：10年以上IT经验，2年职业赛车队（Tony Kart、杜卡迪、Miata）经验，以及4年软件开发经验（将旧的.NET代码重构为Spring Boot/Angular，以及一些全新的项目）。我通过自学进入开发领域，并在工作的同时完成了计算机科学学位。<p>目前我在一家{大型、发展缓慢的公司}工作，并感受到人工智能带来的压力，正试图换工作。我的经验并非面向公众，因此我认为“构建可扩展应用程序以颠覆市场”这一要求是我的弱点。我也意识到我的兴趣不在于Web框架。我就是在飞机上会无聊地和女朋友聊襟翼软件、油门响应和悬挂几何结构，就像孩子向妈妈展示玩具一样的人。<p>我想“更接近底层”，ECU、控制机械设备，我非常希望将机器学习应用于机械设备，甚至是信息娱乐系统！但我的职业简历严格来说是高层次的。我的动手经验包括构建MegaSquirts，使用ESP32进行信号过滤和逻辑处理，数据记录器以及赛车中会用到的各种接线，但我目前缺乏一辆可以展示新作品的实车。<p>我如何才能从Java/Angular过渡到汽车软件领域？<p>十年IT经验和四年后端经验在“软件定义汽车”领域有分量吗，还是我将从零开始？<p>在没有实车可以动手的情况下，我能构建什么样的“工作证明”来打动丰田研究院或特斯拉（任何在美国有业务的品牌）的招聘人员？<p>我已经准备好转向我真正热爱的事业。欢迎提供任何建议。

I have a decade of mixed experience: 10+ years in IT, 2 years on a professional motorsports team (Tony Kart, Ducati, Miata), and 4 years in software (refactoring old .NET to Spring Boot/Angular and some greenfield projects). I self-taught my way into dev and finished a CS degree while working.<p>I’m currently at a {big_slow_corp} and feeling the AI squeeze trying to switch jobs. My exp is not public facing so the “experience building scalable apps to disrupt the market” requirement I think is my weakness. I’ve also realized my heart isn’t in web frameworks. I’m the guy bored on a plane talking to his gf about flap software, throttle response, and suspension geometry like a kid showing a toy to his mom.<p>I want to move "closer to the metal", ECUs, controlling machinery, I’d love ML applied to machinery, even infotainments!, but my professional resume is strictly high-level. My tinkering experience includes building MegaSquirts and using ESP32s for signal filtering and logic, data loggers and wiring things you’d find in a race car, but I currently lack a project car to demonstrate new work.<p>How can I bridge the gap from Java/Angular to automotive software?<p>Does a decade of IT and 4 in backend experience carry weight in the "Software Defined Vehicle" world, or am I starting at zero?<p>What "proof of work" can I build to wow recruiters at places like Toyota Research or Tesla (any brand with US presence really) without a physical car to hack on?<p>I'm ready to pivot to where my passion actually is. Any advice is appreciated.
