San Jose, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolManika Kapoor is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building perception systems for autonomous vehicles, currently driving systems software work at NVIDIA in San Jose. She blends a strong electronics and radar background from early defense engineering with advanced data science and software engineering skills honed through graduate study and roles at IBM focused on NLP, AIOps, and containerized ML services. Manika has a proven track record of turning unstructured data into actionable taxonomies and prototypes, and she applies that pattern to optimize sensor perception stacks and production-grade AI pipelines. Comfortable across the full ML lifecycle, she pairs hands-on model development with system-level engineering—Docker/Kubernetes, OCR/NLP, and embedded/real-time constraints. Her profile reflects a practical curiosity: she completed a Self-Driving Car nano-degree and advanced Stanford courses, bridging research-forward techniques with field-proven engineering.
