Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSiddharth Mahendran is a Senior Applied Scientist with 12 years of experience specializing in computer vision and deep learning, currently working at Amazon after senior research roles at Cruise and Magic Leap. He holds a PhD from Johns Hopkins where he focused on monocular 3D object pose estimation and has translated that research into production-facing perception systems for autonomous vehicles and spatial computing. At Cruise he progressed from senior research scientist to staff applied scientist and served as a team lead for modeling, demonstrating both technical depth and people leadership. His background blends rigorous academic research with hands-on engineering across perception stacks, sensor fusion, and real-time inference. Based in the Greater Seattle Area, he brings a track record of moving complex vision algorithms from prototype to deployed systems in safety-critical domains. An underappreciated strength is his sustained focus on 3D pose problems over a decade, giving him rare domain expertise that informs robust, practical model designs.
