Top SchoolDavid Petkovsek is an Autonomous Intelligent Vehicle team and technical leader with a decade of hands-on experience building embedded systems, computer vision, and robotics software from concept to deployed proofs-of-concept. Currently leading AIV development at Martinrea/Alfield, he architects modular, hot-swappable systems that blend C/C++, Python, Java, CUDA, OpenCV, and machine learning to deliver multi-disciplinary savings measured in the hundreds of thousands. He pairs practical control theory (PID/motion profiling) and sensor fusion (camera/LiDAR/depth) with project leadership across cross-functional and international teams, having shepherded multiple proof-of-concept iterations and production-focused improvements. A lifelong tinkerer—from CNC and 3D-printing jigs to Unreal Engine sensor simulations and custom PIC firmware—he brings rare full-stack hardware-software fluency and a proven ability to translate research prototypes into scalable industrial solutions.
