Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Liu is a Technical Expert in Low Speed Autonomy at Ford with eight years of hands-on experience building safety-critical perception, localization, and control software for vehicles. He holds a Master of Engineering in Autonomous Vehicles from the University of Michigan and combines deep expertise in C/C++, embedded systems, and ISO 26262 functional safety with practical systems engineering. At Ford he has spanned roles from research software engineer to functional safety lead, delivering localization and mapping algorithms as well as managing safety for powertrain ECUs and over-the-air update architectures. He bridges algorithm development and productization—implementing real-time torque estimation and control, automated HIL test suites, and safety monitors deployed across vehicle programs. Based in Ann Arbor, he pairs low-level embedded debugging skills and model-based systems thinking with a track record of moving autonomy features from simulation to road-testing.
