Ryan Matthews

Leading commercial and technical aspects of Luminar’s flagship perception software program

My role is to lead the multi-disciplinary system design of Software / SoC / Lidar, developing novel solutions to help solve currently impossible ADAS use cases Skills: Software Architecture · System Architecture · Solution Architecture · Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) · Software Development · Agile Leadership · Product Strategy · Embedded Systems

In my role as a founding member of the ADAS software organization I - Defined roadmap for a lidar-first approach to active safety and ADAS. - Built and mentored a new software team, scaling safety-critical expertise from scratch. - Delivered customer-facing demos (CES, IAA) that showcased system capabilities and secured OEM interest.

Development of the first generation Samsung Automotive System on a Chip + Software solution for mass market ADAS - Algorithm development from environment modelling to warn/ brake/steer decision - SoC acceleration with DSP, GPU and NPUs - Functional Safety analysis from vehicle level HARA down to Software and Hardware FTA - Technical responsibility for ~10 engineers and software developers

- ADAS Function and Algorithm development for highway cruising features(L1-L3) In my role as a software developer i worked in a mixed C++ / C / Simulink code base - I successfully championed and implemented a transition to a data driven software development process with a modern CI/CD environment. We developed features based on KPIs using a new large dataset from across Europe to prove the porting of our code base to a new camera and radar sensor set.

Feature lead for Adaptive Cruise Control

- Simulationsgestützte Funktionsentwicklung im Bereich ADAS und Fahrdynamik - Simulationsgestützte Hybridantriebsauslegung und Reglerentwurf (Hybridkonzepte) - Projektdurchführung und technische Kundenbetreuung (Audi, VW, Ford, Magna Powertrain, Schaeffler)

Systems Ingenieur: Zuletzt beschäftigte ich mich mit den Problemen der Funktionellen U-boote in der Flotte
