Work cross-functionally to shape the technical roadmap, translating customer requests into autonomy feature requirements for both US and Japanese markets.

Create and document best practices to ensure high-quality maps and safe AV deployments.

Develop new tools and workflows to tackle novel challenges as the company grows and expands.

Plan and scout possible AV routes, matching technological capabilities with customer requirements and community needs.

Troubleshoot vehicle hardware and software issues with limited resources and tight timelines.

Act as technical ambassador, communicating with media, government officials, investors, and the public.

Used C, Python, and MATLAB to interface with video cameras, accelerometers, and optical time-of-flight sensors

Developed mathematical models & simulations to characterize and validate hardware prototype

Final system implementation could measure motions as small as 20 microns

Mentored students in the use of CNC Mills and Lathes, Laser Cutters, Sheet Metal Tools, Woodworking Tools, 3D Printers, Heat Treating Furnaces, and Hand Tools.

Instructed students in how to interpret and create technical drawings

Worked to upkeep and repair machines, improved shop workflow, developed new safety protocols

Machined new molds, prototyped new equipment, and developed new fabrication techniques to reduce sample variability and increase sample production efficiency

Findings were presented at 2020 Materials Research Society Spring Conference (S.NM01.02.03 Enhancing the Strength of Polyester with Nanodiamonds)
