# Abhijit Jadhav > Senior Software Engineer Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/abhijitjadhav It is amazing have autonomous agents can replicate human behavior using AI to create technology that can not only be safer but can reduce human efforts. I draw my motivation from these little scientific AI agents. I plan to create cleaner and secure future by developing human-like behavior with primary focus on self-driving technology. I am currently engaged in creating Real2Sim environments and working between intersection of autonomy and physics world. I am heavily engaged in systems engineering, systems integration with background in automotive and communication protocols. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer AV simulation @ Cavnue Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | San Francisco Bay Area • Lead Simulation pipeline development to support Platform teams by integrating ADP tool using c/c++. • Generate synthetic datasets by creating scenarios for ML training and replay in linux and gcp Virtual Machines. • Close the loop between Platform and simulation and seamlessly integrate simulation workflow using c++. • Develop sensor simulation for cameras, lidar and radars and generate synthetic datasets by seeding scenarios. ### Sr./Staff Software Engineer AD simulation @ Faraday Future Jan 2022 – Jan 2024 | Silicon Valley, California, United States • Lead Simulation pipeline development to support Perception, Localization, Decision, and control teams. • Lead scenario generation and vehicle dynamics in simulator for various features considering ODD. • Lead 3D simulation development using NeRF (Neural Radiance Field) for synthetic data generation. • Automate simulation environment with CAN, FlexRay and Ethernet using python unittest, pytest for sanity tests. • Automate test scripts for scenario generation and test runs for all Automated driving features within the company. • Integrate simulation environment with AD stack in Docker container and generate bash/shell scripts to automate the process of extraction and integration. • Lead simulation pipeline development using GitHub, Jenkins, s3 bucket, AWS lambda, AWS batch and simulator. • Deep dive into literature review to support ongoing research in Automated driving to support development. • Improve planner and localization algorithms by integrating C/C++/Python and yaml scripts to existing AD stack. • Test and improve GPU performance for AD stack, integrate ROS and improve MLPerf for NVIDIA Orin and A6000. • Develop systems requirements and engage in systems integration using CANoe, CANalyzer and Wireshark and work with sensors such as lidar, radar, cameras. •.
