Summary
Jose Perin is an engineering manager specializing in 3D mapping and next-generation LiDAR algorithms with 11 years of experience across academia and industry. He leads teams at Zoox after managing system algorithms at Aeva, where he transitioned from algorithm engineer to technical manager building perception-grade sensing stacks. Jose holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford, has over 400 citations for research on power-constrained optical communications, and taught graduate courses in digital and adaptive signal processing. He thrives on hard, interdisciplinary problems at the intersection of sensing, communications, and perception, and brings both hands-on algorithmic depth and proven leadership in moving research into production. An understated strength is his experience balancing theoretical rigor with practical system constraints—optimizing for power, latency, and real-world robustness in perception systems.
