I joined Applied Intuition in July 2022 at their head office in Mountain View, CA. I was hired as the second member of the Systems Engineering team within the organization. I work closely with the customers and developers for the safe development, testing and deployment of autonomous mobility, specifically in the off-road domain. My projects are currently based out of Michigan for which I moved to MI in September 2022. 

I joined Audi's new (at the time) Automated Driving Development R&D office in San Jose, CA in April 2020 as one of the first ten employees there. As a Senior Development Engineer ADAS I worked on three things primarily. Firstly, systems engineering for new SAE Level 2 hands free and Level 3 driving assist technology. Secondly, testing and validation of the current Level 2 system to identify corner cases, root cause the issue and propose solutions. Finally, I also did some SW prototyping and integration of the latest system in order to quickly provide feedback to the developers regarding the system performance. In addition to these technical responsibilities I also helped build the team at this office by interviewing 10+ and hiring a handful of developers.

Byton was a Chinese-German all-electric vehicle automotive brand founded by former BMW and Nissan executives. I joined Byton in January 2018 at their Santa Clara, CA R&D office to work on the development of the fully electric M-Byte SUV. I was a Technical Lead working on Powertrain Systems Analysis to drive the development of M-Byte's performance and energy attribute toward our SOP targets. I leveraged modeling, simulation, dyno testing and on road testing to understand the status and gaps in the system performance. I worked cross functionally with engineering (powertrain, chassis) to improve performance as well as the management and marketing teams to provide progress updates and appropriate messaging externally to the company respectively. 

I joined Ford Research and Innovation Center at the Dearborn, MI office in June 2015 as a Electrified Propulsion Systems Research Engineer within the Vehicle Systems Analysis Group. I led several modeling, simulation and analysis projects providing upfront input to new hybrid and electric vehicle programs resulting in significant savings for the company. 

Following are some of the projects I contributed to :

1. Developed new combustion engine model and used it in conjunction with on-premises HPC to reduce the calibration time for new engine program by an order of magnitude.

2. Coupled production control code powertrain model to root-cause and explain performance and efficiency issues identified during testing

3. Used vehicle usage data from multiple sources to create electrification requirements for large Ford vehicles
