Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMax Hoffmann is a Senior AI Engineer with 15 years of experience who blends deep computational physics training with hands-on ML and software engineering to build explainable, safety-first systems for autonomous vehicles. He has led production ML and scenario-evaluation efforts at Apple SPG, built backend and dispatch systems at drive.ai, and accelerated materials discovery via research platforms at Stanford, demonstrating fluency from supercomputing science to full-stack microservices. Skilled in Python, SQL, React/Node, and safety standards like ISO 26262/21448, he focuses on rigorous, data-driven validation frameworks that benchmark autonomy against human performance. Based in Berlin, he consistently translates long-tail historical datasets into predictive, interpretable models—an approach informed by his PhD in computational surface physics and a knack for turning research prototypes into operational tools.
