Summary
Aishanou Rait is a Staff Software Engineer specializing in robotic perception and SLAM with 10 years of experience building vision systems from scratch across multiple startups. Based in Vancouver, she has designed and integrated perception stacks using multi-camera rigs, stereo, LiDAR, RADAR, IMUs, odometry, RTK GPS and GNSS to help robots localize and understand their world. Her background spans hands-on GPU-accelerated SLAM work on embedded platforms to leading perception teams at companies like Glydways, Dials and FarmWise, delivering robust solutions in ambiguous, rapidly changing product requirements. She excels at turning vague problem statements into production-ready systems that drive company growth, and she values shipping practical results over academic perfection. An early career in plant operations and project management gave her uncommon systems-thinking and cross-functional leadership skills for coordinating hardware, software and field operations. She combines Carnegie Mellon robotics training with a pragmatic builder’s mindset, often optimizing for speed and reliability on constrained hardware.
