Antonio Rufo is a Senior Sensor Systems Engineer with eight years of hands-on experience designing and integrating advanced LiDAR and sensor hardware for autonomous systems, currently advancing perception at Zoox. His background spans high-sensitivity GmAPD detector electronics, airborne and micro-LiDAR platforms, and transitioning algorithms onto FPGA/ASIC to dramatically reduce SWaP, work first developed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory and continued at NIO and Optimus Ride. Comfortable leading multi-disciplinary teams, he pairs systems-level thinking with circuit- and firmware-level execution to deliver production-ready sensor solutions. Based in Sharon, MA, he brings a pragmatic passion for innovation and a track record of measurable performance gains (for example, a 60x improvement in GmAPD characterization workflows) that highlight his focus on efficiency as well as capability.
