Summary
Ali Harb is a systems engineer specializing in automotive LiDAR sensors with 13 years of cross-disciplinary experience bridging particle-physics instrumentation and production-grade automotive systems. Currently at MicroVision after leading LiDAR performance and thermal unit development at Ibeo, he combines deep metrology, thermodynamic characterization, and ISO 26262 FuSa practice to improve sensor robustness in extreme weather. His background includes managing mass-production readiness and assembly tooling for large-scale CERN detector upgrades, where he led teams and established metrology-driven QA processes. Comfortable with both hands-on lab prototyping and systems-level specification of partner ECUs, he excels at turning complex physical requirements into verifiable, manufacturable designs. Based in the Greater Hamburg Area, he brings a rare blend of experimental physics rigor and automotive productization experience that de-risks sensor integration at scale.
