Summary
Jeff Zheng is a software engineering manager in the San Francisco Bay Area with 12 years of experience building and shipping sensor algorithms and calibration pipelines for lidar, camera, radio, ultrasound and touch systems. He combines deep DSP and imaging research (PhD in Physics from MIT) with hands-on production engineering in C++, Python and MATLAB, having moved innovations from FPGA prototypes to mass-production factory calibration at Waymo and Apple. As owner of lidar data quality he split time between R&D signal processing and scalable production code, and now leads sensor and vehicle test and calibration teams. His background in experimental physics and multi-FPGA instrumentation gives him an unusual systems-level perspective on sensor stacks, bridging low-level hardware constraints and high-level algorithm design.
