EXPERIENCE

DeepMap.ai, Palo Alto, CA Mar 2019 – Jul 2019

Sensor/Hardware Reliability Engineer

• Performed qualification of new sensors paired with device drivers formatted (in ROS node, in csv) using data visualization software and point cloud processing (PCL) software to validate results

• Provided daily assurance that vehicles and sensors are available, reliable, well-maintained, and meet functional requirements

• Assisted with sensor installation and maintenance on DeepMap and customer-specific vehicles

• Supported and validated multiple on-vehicle computer platforms

• Evaluated the integration of sensors and cameras onto vehicle compute platforms

• Assembled hardware and components of DeepMap PDM to completion according to critical customer specifications

• Planned, prepared, and implemented transport set-up of DeepMap PDM for customer delivery Velodyne LiDAR, Morgan Hill and San Jose, CA Apr 2016 – Nov 2018 Quality Control Validation Technician, SW/FW Validation Engineer

• Performed tests, troubleshoot, and debug firmware and hardware for an extensive product line of LiDAR sensors used in autonomous vehicles and other robotic application.

• Implemented python programming to interface with LiDAR sensors, AC power supply, voltage meters, oscilloscopes, and other equipment irrelevant to produce data-driven results.

• Applied principles of continuous improvement to manufacturing processes of a production based LiDAR product that led to establish and resolve the root-cause for a major customer concern

• Formed inferences on data generated through regression tests and user test cases to satisfy customer requirements

• Defined, designed and executed test cases and user scenarios to validate the implementation of new features and optimization of current features in to-be officially released firmware.

• Authored the documented processes for LiDAR sensor calibration – VLP16 & HDL32 and familiar with VLP32c and VLS-128 calibration process, DFMEA, FMEA analysis and root causes

• Continuous improvement of SW/FW verification methods

• Built and managed test frameworks and tools as part of continuous integration to verify development and performance of SW/FW via light use of python programming

• Validated of LiDAR devices calibrated per firmware and hardware builds for automotive applications and autonomous applications

• Implemented test strategies to support the needs of software and firmware development process

• Competently defined test scenarios needed to verify base product development, functionality, specifications, features, and system requirements.

• Supported firmware and hardware development and validation testing to ensure quality deliverables and firmware release notes sufficiently meet production needs within a timely manner Silver Spring Networks, San Jose, CA Jan 2016 – Mar 2016 Data Analyst Consultant

• Extracted a high-volume of data sets consisting of MAC IDs from customer returned SMART Meters

• Resolved inventory level inconsistencies by using reverse logistics of documented inventory returns against a physical count of items on hand.

• Processed 20,000 plus MAC IDs against Oracle IB Tool prior to officially scrapping respective inventory

• Reconciled monthly accounts for small business and commercials business with bad debts expense

• Utilized QuickBooks software to automate monthly payables and receivables for all active customer accounts
