hello right now, I just start to find a job after the graduation. And I got an interview for the position software developer for testing system on autonomous driving. But I am confused and had no experience before. So could you take some time to help me about what kind of things or skills I need to prepare for this job interview. I have already searched a lot but still not so clear about this job. For a new graduate, can you give me some advice about that. sooooo thank you in advance.

Hi, it is difficult to answer your question without a job description, because it can have several meaning. Based on its name it is supposed to be some the development of a simulation or test automatisation tool. So it is like normal tool development. But it is unclear which language/technologies are they using.

Hi, thanks again. Since the company is located in Berlin and the main language used here is c++. Referring to the job description, the responsibilities of this job is to develop modular software to secure driver assistance systems. The tasks also include analyzing the requirements with the team and design the architecture and interfaces. It is also required for this job to integrate hardware, such as sensors for detecting the environment, and software systems like for recording data and web service. All the development is completed in agile team. For the requirement of applicants, experience about ADTF or ROS is ideal necessary.

Lot of new things seems to me. Can you give some tipps.

Well, then it sounds rather like to work on the real AD code.
It requires a complex knowledge, but since you are a junior, I hope the expectations are also like that.
What you can do:
-Read about scrum
-Read through everything what you know about c++ (especially topics like smart ptrs, templates, virtual classes)
-Go through this ROS tutorial: wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials
