Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan David is a Sr. Staff Software Architecture Engineer with 11 years designing and integrating complex automotive systems across OEMs and AV startups, currently splitting time between Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies in California. He blends system-level architecture, software integration, and vision/sensor expertise from roles at Tesla, Ford, Phantom AI, and multiple stints at Rivian to deliver production-ready vehicle features. Known for thriving in high-performance, cross-functional teams, he moves fluidly between hands-on engineering (PCBs and RTOS early in his career) and strategic architecture for embedded and perception systems. His work uniquely combines motorsports-rooted hardware tinkering—designing and racing cars—with large-scale vehicle software validation and calibration. This combination gives him a practical edge in translating experimental prototypes into reliable, manufacturable systems.
