Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGokul Kannan is a Staff Machine Learning Engineer specializing in perception and safety systems for Level 4 autonomous vehicles, with eight years of experience spanning automotive R&D and production ML deployments. He has led teams of perception engineers to design, train, validate and ship camera- and radar-based models at fleet scale, and recently headed a Model Factory team responsible for operationalizing ML across AV fleets. His academic foundation includes an M.Sc. in Computer Science (Autonomous Systems) from the University of Stuttgart, and his early work at Mercedes-Benz produced novel radar cube object-detection methods and practical auto-labeling pipelines. Comfortable across the stack—from embedded AUTOSAR projects to distributed GPU training and production inference—he blends systems thinking with hands-on model development. Notably, he pairs safety-focused engineering (ISO 26262 experience) with rapid tooling improvements that cut testing and validation effort in prior roles.
