Oszkar Jozsa

Senior Product Manager, Simulation

I am part of Woven Alpha, the software arm of Woven Planet developing Arene, Toyota's next generation software vehicle platform. My main area of focus is developing simulation for software testing for ADAS and other autonomy features of Toyota's upcoming vehicles. This is my first time in a product role where my responsibilities include interfacing with the customer and adjacent teams, roadmap planning and supporting our scrum process..

Engineering Lead

I was leading 3 client-facing projects on the order of few hundred thousand to 1.5 million dollars. I'm in charge of planning, project management, hiring and also contribute to development and serve as a scrum master for my team. My area of focus was automation in construction and warehouses (automated forklifts). My team was involved with multiple sub-projects ranging from perception/ML to customizing our SaaS/PaaS cloud backend to our customers' needs. I was also responsible for some of our product management work and hiring.

Senior Engineering Lead / Engineering Manager

I was leading the self-driving vehicle department, being involved both in the technical and the operations/management side of the organization. I was acting both as an Engineering Manager for a multidisciplinary team and as a Technical Program Manager leading self-driving vehicle and simulation development. My roles at Ascent also covered a range of software development and software management tasks, including: SW architecture design, budgeting, helping out ML research, robotics software development, systems engineering, self-driving operation management, field testing, code reviewing, roadmap planning and technical hiring. Throughout all my positions at Ascent, I've been directly reporting to the CTO and before that to the CEO.

Technical Lead / Engineering Manager

I was leading the broader self-driving engineering teams at Ascent Robotics while the organization was growing after our Series A investment. I was invovled with the vehicle robotics and perception team, infrastructure team and software tools team. Before restructuring, I was leading 30+ people in a constantly evolving environment and served as an interim CTO for a while. During this period, I started to learn and be involved with leadership and management while still actively working on engineering tasks.

Senior Robotics Engineer

I was leading a team of 5-7 engineers, developing the core framework of our deep learning and robotics platform. I was working on various self-driving engineering tasks including HW and SW architecture design, software engineering, technical hiring and project management. Additional to this, I was also working on financial intelligence projects.

Robotics Engineer

I joined Ascent Robotics as the company's 2nd engineer. I am actively participating in shaping the company ever since them, both on the code/architecture and on the organizational level. My initial tasks involved computer vision and software prototype development, architecture design and tech pitch to investors and potential partners.

Software Engineer

I worked on the then next-generation RoboTaxi, ZMP's self driving platfrom. I mostly worked on computer vision and robotic system software development. I also participated in systems setup, sensor calibation and testing the self-driving car both on the test track and in traffic.

Software Engineer

I worked on industrial vision software and SDKs (Cognex VisionView, Cognex Designer) the company ships with their camera systems. I mostly worked in C# and TypeScript with some JavaScript and C++. In most of my time at the company I was responsible for HMI framework design and implementation, script parsing, object serialization-deserialization, automatic code generation and software licensing. The products I worked on have a combined sales volume over $100M.

Associate Software Engineer

Research Intern / Contractor

I joined as an intern and stayed at the Academy as a contractor Research Engineer. I was part of the Machine Perception Research Laboratory research group and worked on 2D and 3D computer vision, image processing and 3D object recognition and registration in Point Clouds. Most of my work was related to object detection, segmentation and scene understanding in lidar point clouds.

Georgia Institute of Technology

Remote studies. I dropped out because of my demanding startup work.

Budapest University of Technology and Economics

I took a vide array of classes including Electrical and Mechanical Engineering classes to explore my interests. I also won two scholarships (see below).

Florida Institute of Technology

I won an EU scholarship (STARS - Sensing Technology and Robotics Scholarship) to spend a year in the US. During the year I was able to complete all Florida Tech courses that were disjunct from my program and gradudated both at Florida Tech and my home institute.

Aquincum Institute of Technology

I was awarded an opportunity to take courses at Gabor Bojar's private college. I took courses in computer vision, computational biology, enterpreneurship and UX
