Experience

Perception Engineer

Conigital Group
Oct 2020 - Present · 5 years 8 months

• Developed, trained and tested deep learning models for autonomous vehicle tasks with camera and lidar
data using Pytorch.
• Worked with object detection, panoptic segmentation, monocular depth estimation and traffic light
classification tasks.
• Implemented mid-fusion techniques for camera-LIDAR data fusion in BEV space and late-fusion methods lever￾aging objects geometric and semantic consistencies using neural networks.
• Developed tools to automate both the data collection and in-house annotation processes, facilitating the efficient
generation of datasets for training deep learning models.
• Developed custom Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) from the initial design phase through to
deployment, incorporating in-house data to meet specific project requirements.
• Worked with training pipelines in SageMaker for training new batches of data at scale and monitoring perfor￾mance.
• Optimised deep learning models for performance using TensorRT, proficient in converting advanced ar￾chitectures, implemented custom operators, and wrote CUDA modules for sensor data processing.
• Participated in multiple autonomous vehicle tests aimed at identifying the limitations of the current stack within a
specific operational design domain (ODD) and collaborated with other teams to develop safer solutions.
• Conducted thorough research and testing of state-of-the-art sensing systems (cameras and lidars) and
perception algorithms for the next-generation autonomous vehicle stack, creating detailed comparison reports.
• Showcased autonomous vehicle operations to clients from both industry and academia.
• Played a key role in upgrading the autonomous vehicle stack from ROS 1 to ROS 2.
• Customized the sensor drivers at a lower level to ensure that they provide sensor data and diagnostics in
accordance with our AV stack.
