- Supported sourcing, integration, and test of multiple sensor modalities used on the robot- Researched sensors of interest, engage with suppliers and test/evaluate sensor performance- Wrote software to decode sensor data and integrate into robot software stack - Evaluated depth quality and auto-exposure of stereo cameras (OAK-D and Intel RealSense).

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US

- Designed and executed bench-level and dSPACE HIL (hardware in the loop) tests for a level 4 autonomous vehicle- Created test plans, performed data analysis, built test result packages, and presented results to management - Developed fault injection software tools for ethernet based sensors (LIDAR, RADAR, inertial sensors)- Wrote functional safety test.

Dearborn, Michigan, US

- Refactored C++ driver to integrate automotive RADAR into an autonomous vehicle platform using Apollo/CyberRT framework (ROS equivalent)- Performed intrinsic calibration and testing of RADAR - Collaborated with sensor vendor and perception team to define sensor requirements

Ann Arbor, Michigan, US

- Developed custom control systems for high-performance MEMS gyroscopes with navigation applications such as autonomous vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles- Implemented real-time FPGA-based digital signal processing using Xilinx System Generator and Simulink, including lock-in amplifier, phase-locked loop, PID controllers, digital filters- Wrote software.

Cambridge, MA, US

- Wrote a driver in MATLAB/C for a Doppler Velocity Logger (DVL) on an autonomous kayak for surveillance applications- Developed and evaluated a dead reckoning sysem using DVL and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
