Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChenghao Gong is a Staff Software Engineer focused on perception and autonomy with eight years of experience building localization, mapping, and multi-sensor perception systems for commercial and industrial vehicles. He has led end-to-end deployment of real-time online mapping and multi-camera lane detection systems at scale, optimizing for limited on-vehicle GPU resources and challenging road conditions. Chenghao’s work spans feature- and distribution-based LiDAR odometry, IMU/wheel-encoder state estimation, and transformer-based mapping research (PETR) applied to production vehicles. He’s shipped robust sensor calibration and jitter-compensation algorithms for autonomous trucks and industrial fleets, and has a track record of moving research prototypes into overseas production. Based in San Diego, he combines solid academic training from UCSD with hands-on leadership roles across startups and OEMs, making him equally fluent in research, embedded constraints, and field deployment.
