Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacob Hultman is a senior software engineer with nine years of experience building algorithms for computer vision and robotics, currently working on ML at Waymo in San Francisco. He specializes in statistics, optimization, sensor fusion, array programming, and real-time systems, with a track record applying deep learning to autonomous vehicles and self-driving trucks. Prior roles span research engineering at Novateur and Plus, plus academic work at the University of Pennsylvania where he built high-fidelity C++ simulations for VANET malware studies and taught Fourier analysis and programming. He combines rigorous academic training in electrical engineering with hands-on production experience shipping perception and control software at scale. After a year-long sabbatical traveling through LATAM, he returned to industry with renewed perspective on practical system robustness and deployment. Colleagues find him most effective at turning complex probabilistic models into efficient, real-time implementations.
