Experience

Simulation Test Engineer — Autonomous Vehicles Oct 2025 — Present

NVIDIA · Santa Clara, CA (Remote)

  • Own validation of Context Fusion perception across camera, LiDAR, and radar pipelines, gating AV release candidates on multi-sensor object-classification accuracy.
  • Architected automated quality pipelines covering 10+ analysis types, transforming ad-hoc spot-checks into continuous regression visibility across the fusion stack.
  • Built test orchestration tooling with schema enforcement and suite-aware targeting, eliminating config drift across hundreds of open-loop replay tests.
  • Designed SQL observability dashboards that surface evaluator coverage gaps and KPI degradation, enabling proactive regression detection before release gates.
Senior Autonomous Driving Simulation Software Engineer Mar 2023 — Oct 2025

Stellantis · Auburn Hills, MI

  • Delivered OEM-specific SIL pipelines with AI closed-loop simulations that boosted ADAS/AD reliability of release candidates.
  • Built a 16-DOF HarcaSim vehicle model and unified KPI retrieval across LiDAR, ADCAM, LRR, SRR, IMU, and GNMM sensors to harden regression tests.
  • Authored 100+ of an 800+ L2/L3 acceptance-test suite, covering 50+ requirements while reviewing peers' cases to keep CI gates meaningful.
  • Led SimOps upkeep of shared simulation assets so daily program builds stayed patched, versioned, and ready for cross-team runs.
HVAC Software Engineer Jun 2020 — Feb 2023

Stellantis · Auburn Hills, MI

  • Designed the Auto Cooldown feature, trimming ECU memory 10% and opening headroom for additional STLA Brain climate functions.
  • Re-tuned temperature overshoot logic to reach target cabin temperatures faster while consuming less heating energy.
  • Architected HVAC software for the STLA Brain platform, merging legacy FCA and PSA codebases and leading global process harmonization across NAFTA, LATAM, and SEA.
Signal Processing Research Engineer May 2019 — Aug 2019

SMU MicroSensor Laboratory · Dallas, TX

  • Co-designed NASA prototype sensors using signal-processing pipelines that increased measurement fidelity.
  • Embedded Python analytics into LabVIEW workflows to raise optical sensor calibration accuracy.
Electronic Engineering Intern May 2017 — Aug 2018

FRT Electronic Technology · Recife, Brazil

  • Automated QC programs for bus security systems, ensuring compliance with max-speed and door-safety requirements.
  • Reprogrammed firmware and refreshed electronics to improve device reliability across regional fleets.
