Autonomous vehicle engineer with an active focus on improving autonomous and driver assist vehicle motion and controller robustness on L2, L3, and L4 systems. I have experience in system level requirements generation and validation of them through scenario generation, Design of Experiment, modeling, simulation, rapid controls development, and in vehicle testing for nominal performance and in the presence of noise factors. These noise factors include sensing (poor painted lane lines, mistaken lane lines, signal noise), platform (steering lash, changes in brake pad friction, weight, tire pressure), and external noise factors (wind gust, impacts, surface friction changes). If the requirements are not met, I have a proven ability to successfully collaborate with subsystem teams and provide valuable insight to determine the source of the deficiency and support development of subsystem requirements that improve the system level performance.
