Telematics Support Engineer

Caterpillar

  • Converted environmental & EMC/EMI test benches (temp/humidity cycling, shock/drop/vibration, salt fog/UV, BCI, radiated immunity/emissions) into data-first workflows: centralized acquisition, precise time-sync, and rich metadata for modeling.
  • Built Python + shell/batch automation to control network managers and cell radios over RS232/RS485/CAN/Ethernet, orchestrate runs, and stream logs/telemetry into structured, ML-ready time-series datasets.
  • Developed analytics/ML pipelines (feature engineering from time/frequency domains—FFT/STFT) for anomaly detection and pass/fail risk scoring; supported root-cause analysis of defects, safety risks, and performance issues.
  • Partnered with suppliers and design/production teams to translate V&V plans and field-return investigations into labeled datasets; closed the loop on reliability improvements with data-driven insights.
  • Authored clear, audit-ready documentation and reports (data schemas, feature definitions, pipeline diagrams, model cards, and V&V records).
  • Debugged across HW/SW boundaries; instrumented devices, validated telemetry integrity, and built simulators/mocks to reproduce edge cases outside the lab.

Summary

AI Engineer with 5+ years across telematics and embedded systems, building data pipelines and deploying ML for reliability, vision, and predictive analytics. Shipped automation for sensor/ECU test rigs, trained CV/NLP models (PyTorch/BERT/EfficientNet), and stood up MLOps for reproducible experiments and edge/cloud inference.
