Ankit Laddha is a Staff Tech Lead Manager with 15 years of experience building perception and autonomy systems for self-driving vehicles, currently leading static road-element detection and enterprise AI consulting teams at Stack AV from Union City, CA. He has a strong academic foundation in robotics (MS, Carnegie Mellon) and a deep track record at industry leaders such as Cruise, Uber, Aurora and Tempo where he delivered production-grade computer vision, sensor fusion, long-range detection, and off-board labeling platforms. Ankit combines hands-on research—publishing papers and patents—with people leadership, scaling teams that translate novel ML and CV research into safety-critical autonomy features. He also runs cross-company projects on large foundational models (LLMs and VLMs), signaling a shift from perception pipelines to multimodal AI for product and consulting use cases. Colleagues rely on him to bridge academic rigor and pragmatic engineering, especially where complex sensor modalities and large datasets meet operational constraints.
