Jilada Eccleston is a Senior Software Engineer with 8 years' experience specializing in robotics, embedded systems, and autonomous vehicle software, currently working on system testing tools for Arene at Woven by Toyota in Tokyo. She has a strong track record contributing to open-source AutowareAuto, porting ROS1 to ROS2, and representing Tier IV on ROS2 and AWF technical steering committees. Her background blends hands-on perception and localization work—NVIDIA TensorRT optimization, Google Cartographer, and NDT-based 3D localization—with embedded safety monitoring for physical vehicle platforms. Known for diligence and clear communication, she has repeatedly led teams and student organisations, translating cross-cultural adaptability from living in multiple countries into rapid onboarding and collaboration. A high-achieving Computer Engineering graduate from the University of Auckland, she pairs academic excellence with practical system-level engineering. Notably, her experience spans both research-adjacent roles and production vehicle software, giving her uncommon fluency across prototype-to-deployment stages.
