Nino Tugade is an ADAS Test Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience combining autonomous vehicle field operations and software development, currently supporting NVIDIA’s ADAS efforts in the San Francisco Bay Area. He excels at rapid vehicle bring-up, in-field triage, and cross-team escalation—skills sharpened by leading remote prototype campaigns for Mercedes-Benz and executing Level 4 test scenarios at Waymo. Equally comfortable behind the wheel or in the codebase, he has a full-stack development background that helps him isolate complex sensor-software issues and implement practical fixes. Nino is notable for stabilizing resource-constrained test fleets under tight demo timelines and consistently exceeding mileage KPIs during extended road campaigns. His blend of operational rigor and software fluency makes him a pragmatic bridge between vehicle engineering and production-grade autonomous systems.
