Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDuc Tran is a Staff Software Engineer based in Palo Alto with nine years of cross-domain experience building high-performance systems for automotive, optical communications, and ASIC characterization. He progressed from hands-on DSP and post-silicon characterization roles to leading Autopilot simulation and software engineering at Tesla, blending hardware insight with production software at scale. His background in ECE (BS/MS) and nanodegrees in self-driving cars and data engineering enable him to bridge algorithms, embedded systems, and large-scale simulation pipelines. Known for working closely with teams to turn ambitious ideas into deployed capabilities, he brings a practical, test-driven approach informed by real silicon bring-up and optical interconnect design. An uncommon strength is his end-to-end perspective—from chip characterization and DSP ASICs to simulation software—helping reduce integration risk and accelerate feature delivery.
