Engineer - Technical Team LeaderTechnical areas:• sensing, navigation, localization, state estimation, data fusion• robotics, autonomous systems, motion planning, motion control, guidance• machine learning, system id, statistics• optimization, linear algebra, applied math, dynamics, aerodynamics• computer vision, feature detection, optical flowRecent experience in autonomous vehicle (AV) space:• At Magna, an automotive tier 1, led small engineering team that developed behavior/planning/controls software for autonomous parking and other ADAS features for consumer vehicles, including requirements management, system design, implementation, on-vehicle testing.• At GPR, architected and led impl/testing of prototype Lexus AV which uses GPR’s novel localization sensor to autonomously drive. ROS-based sw uses ground-penetrating radar, IMU, odometry, and GPS data to localize against a map, and control motion. The AV is used to showcase GPR tech to partners and investors.Principal Investigator, defense-related R&D projects at SSCI and BAE Systems/Alpahtech:• Wide array of projects – typically autonomy/control sw for unmanned vehicles, or algorithms to process sensor data. • Machine vision on small UAVs: fast detection and avoidance of obstacles; id and tracking of small moving targets; guidance for automated landing.• RF signal processing algorithm, and fast reactive path planning, to optimize search speed/accuracy to locate transmitters from airborne platforms.Experience at various levels of project execution:• Project Manager: developing solution concepts for DoD agency solicitations or customer requirements; program planning; managing teams of 2 to 10 including academic and industrial partners; interface with customers including program negotiation and briefings.• Engr Team Lead: leading teams to develop engineering software; guiding architecture, coding standards; using agile processes and project tracking systems to manage work. • IC: technical algorithm development; python/matlab proof of concept; C++ implementation; build/maintain prototype systems; plan/execute/analyze data collects.LANGUAGES / SOFTWARE / TOOLS• C++• Matlab / Simulink• python• java• libs: OpenCV; PyTorch; NVIDIA TensorRT; ONNX; YOLO; protobuf; Eigen• ROS 2• docker• linux • git; github; cmake; Atlassian Bitbucket, Jira; agile / CI processes• Mavlink; PX4; ArduPilot; QGroundControl; Autoware• sw defined radioMISC• U.S. Citizen• U.S. DoD Clearance• Member: IEEE; Institute of Navigation (ION)• NSF Grad Fellowship• FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot License
