Radar Engineer to Autonomy/AI [D]

A radar perception engineer with 3 years of point cloud analysis and SNR debugging is asking whether portfolio projects can bridge the gap into applied ML and autonomy roles. This is a legitimate and well-trodden path. Domain expertise in radar phenomenology, combined with demonstrated PyTorch or ROS2 implementations on public datasets like nuScenes or RadarScenes, directly signals readiness to hiring managers at Waymo, Motional, or Bosch. Your physics intuition is the moat most ML engineers lack.
