Summary
Shelley Xu is an ADAS VIL engineer with nine years of experience specializing in vehicle-in-the-loop simulation and sensor-to-CAN signal processing for advanced driver assistance systems. She has driven VIL development and validation for features like Blue Cruise, Lane Centering, and Pre-collision Assist at Roush and now Ford, combining CarMaker, MATLAB/Simulink, and CAN tool expertise to replicate realistic vehicle dynamics and sensor behavior. Shelley also brings hands-on manufacturing systems experience from MES implementation and SQL-driven reporting, enabling smoother handoffs between development and production. Comfortable instrumenting test vehicles and debugging embedded vehicle software, she bridges controls, software, and test teams to accelerate feature delivery. Her GitHub profile reflects a broader interest in autonomous systems and CUDA-accelerated workloads, and she contributes Bayesian modeling part-time, highlighting a quantitative bent beyond applied engineering. Based in the Detroit metro area, she pairs academic training in mechanical and vehicle engineering with practical end-to-end automotive systems delivery.
