Senior Manager - Software

• Apr 2023 - Present

I lead a highly skilled cross-functional team dedicated to delivering top-notch software solutions that drive our Level-4 Autonomy Vehicles (AVs) and empower our AV fleet management capabilities. In my role, I am responsible for ensuring the successful delivery of software tools and implementing, upgrading, and maintaining efficient CI/CD processes. These efforts are aimed at supporting our Operations team in seamlessly deploying, running, and maintaining our vehicles at customer sites.My team specializes in working across various platforms, with a primary focus on Linux, Python and C++. Our software serves a diverse range of functions, from executing complex SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) and control algorithms that require substantial computational power to integrating a wide array of sensors such as Ouster LiDAR, Realsense cameras, Ultrasound sensors, IMU, and controlling the vehicle's powertrain. We have developed a robust Fleet Manager solution that enables efficient management of a fleet of vehicles (average fleet size is 5 vehicles) at an operational site. Our team comprises seasoned professionals with expertise spanning areas such as Computer Vision, Motion Planning, Cloud communications, Machine Learning, Web applications, and Control systems.At Ati Motors, we are currently in the scaling phase of our journey. We have a proven product that adds significant value to our customers, and now we are focused on expanding its reach to serve 10x more customers. During this growth phase, our aim is to proactively tackle challenges before they arise and enhance the capabilities of our already competitive product. As a result, our software undergoes rapid evolution, with each individual module receiving a generational upgrade in terms of capabilities approximately every six months on average. Show less

Staff Engineer - Autonomy

Researcher

• Jan 2018 - Apr 2022

I work in the broad areas of vehicle intelligence and navigation control for autonomous vehicles at Ati Motors. Specifically, I focus on all areas of control systems of an autonomous vehicle, from actuators control at the lower level to vehicle navigation control at the higher level, path planning and driving policy for the vehicle. I also work on vehicle safety systems and active failure detection solutions.
