About and CV
Darshak Panseriya
Perception Engineer
I'm a perception engineer with a background in suspension design and vehicle dynamics, and an M.Eng. in Automated Driving and Vehicle Safety from TH Ingolstadt. My master's thesis at Bosch, then a working-student role, took a radar kick-detection function from first data through an OEM design review into series development. Before that I led a student team fusing camera and radar at Fraunhofer IVI, validated the cone detector of a driverless race car, and was the sole vehicle platform design engineer for a micromobility build under 50 kg. I also build software tools for my own work.

Experience
Radar ML Engineer, UWB Sensing Function, Series Development
Robert Bosch GmbH · Working student
Took the kick-detection function into a customer vehicle, defended its technical side in the OEM design review, and handed it into series development, where the teams porting, optimising and validating it came to me as its technical reference.
Apr 2026 to Sep 2026
Radar ML Engineer, UWB Kick-to-Open Detection
Robert Bosch GmbH · Master's thesis
Built the function from the first data: data campaigns and labelling, the model, the detection system and a live demonstrator. Its architecture is filed as an internal invention disclosure.
Oct 2025 to Mar 2026
Radar Systems Engineer, UWB Validation & Tooling
Robert Bosch GmbH · Internship
Measurement campaigns and hardware evaluation for Perfectly Keyless; a real-time signal-analysis tool and a labelling workflow that became the team's standard.
Feb 2025 to Sep 2025
Perception System Engineer
Schanzer Racing Electric · Formula Student Driverless
Led the validation of the cone-keypoint detector, with segmentation-mask outlines as ground truth and no keypoint labelled by hand.
Oct 2024 to Apr 2025
Sensor Fusion Engineer, Camera-Radar Traffic Perception
Fraunhofer IVI · Student research project
Led a student team of four fusing a camera detector with an automotive radar on roadside recordings; extended in 2026 with a tracker and a full evaluation.
Mar 2024 to Jun 2024
Sole Vehicle Platform Design Engineer
Three-person micromobility startup, under NDA
Sole vehicle platform design engineer: from the founder's vision to a concept, and from the concept to a manufacturable prototype design, covering sketches, part design, assembly and the bill of materials.
Aug 2022 to Aug 2024
Automotive Technician
Stellar Skoda
Mar 2021 to Oct 2021
Vehicle Dynamics Engineer
GTU Motorsports · Formula Student
Vehicle dynamics from tyre data to track testing; ran the vehicle-dynamics group in the second season. 3rd overall at Formula Bharat 2020.
Apr 2019 to Mar 2021
Lead Design Engineer
Team Swift, Parul University · SAE Efficycle
Lead design engineer of a first-year team's motor-assisted three-wheeler, through every inspection at the first attempt.
Feb 2019 to Oct 2019
Lead Designer, Creeper Assist
Gujarat Industrial Hackathon 2019
Led a team of three and designed the mechanism of a convertible mechanic's creeper; a prototype grant and a filed design patent.
Oct 2018 to Jul 2019
