Teams at Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies, LLC

Lead RF systems design, simulation, validation, automation, and global certification for automotive wireless ECUs. Own architectures, link budgets, PCB and enclosure integration, cellular and wireless protocol requirements, FCC/RED/carrier homologation, test infrastructure, root-cause investigations, and launch readiness. Mentor engineers and influence cross-functional technical decisions across hardware, software, systems, suppliers, regulators, and test laboratories.

Designs, develops, and validates system architectures for Level 2–5 ADAS and autonomous driving platforms. Translates functional objectives into testable specifications for state machines, control algorithms, and vehicle dynamics. Collaborates across HMI, safety, cybersecurity, and product teams; uses MATLAB, Simulink, Stateflow, and SIL/HIL simulation for validation. Develops ISO 26262 functional safety work products, performs root-cause analysis, and supports system refinement through testing.

Maintains multi-repository vehicle interface software architecture, CI/CD pipelines, and deterministic builds using Bazel and GitLab CI. Debugs embedded systems and ECU interfaces, analyzes automotive network signals, latency, and bandwidth, and develops Python-based tools. Coordinates signal and network definition changes, manages version traceability, supports vehicle-level integration and testing, and collaborates across architecture, software, validation, and program teams to resolve integration issues.
