Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAryan Kalia is a Vehicle Software Engineer at Tesla with eight years of hands-on experience merging embedded systems, machine learning, and aerospace-grade software. A Mechatronics graduate from the University of Waterloo, he’s shipped firmware and performance software at tier-one companies (Tesla, Apple, NXP) and has a track record of accelerating inference and latency through optimized kernels and quantization. He co-founded and led UW Orbital’s satellite effort—building the communications stack, custom drivers, and ground station software that won the Canadian Satellite Design Challenge and helped raise funding. His research work applied diffusion models and novel augmentations to remote sensing, while internships saw ML deployed to constrained platforms including Canadarm2 and lunar-rover networking stacks. Comfortable across C/C++, Python, FreeRTOS, and hardware interfaces, he combines a systems-first mindset with ML tooling experience to move models from research into real-time, safety-critical products. Agile in both leadership and low-level optimization, he often surfaces practical solutions (e.g., SIMD kernels, optimized CI pipelines) that cut verification and runtime costs dramatically.
