Mr. Hoang Nguyen, Principal Technical Lead — ADAS Simulation & SDV

Back

Hoang connects simulation architecture, embedded software and the development workflows needed to build software-defined vehicle features. His background reaches from Linux/Qt systems and automotive telematics to CARLA, ROS 2, scenario execution and virtual-cockpit integration. As Principal Technical Lead, he helps turn a collection of tools into a coherent platform that engineers can use to develop, investigate and validate vehicle behavior.

Selected experience

ADAS and software-defined vehicle simulation

Technical Lead, CARLA, ROS 2 and scenario workflows

His simulation-platform work includes architecture, scenario generation using OpenSCENARIO/OpenDRIVE, esmini integration and automation for execution, debugging and analysis. Virtual Cockpit and HMI integration connect the simulation with the behavior that an operator or driver sees. He also establishes CI/CD and quality workflows and mentors engineers in architecture, troubleshooting and the use of simulation as an engineering tool.

Automotive telematics and emergency calling

FPT Software, Technical leadership

Hoang has provided technical direction for an automotive emergency-call application, overseeing software quality, integration changes and troubleshooting. This experience links application-level features to the constraints and communication patterns of an embedded vehicle platform. It also informs how he structures work, reviews implementation decisions and coordinates a team around customer milestones.

Connected applications, video and industrial systems

Hitachi Vantara and FPT Software, Cross-platform delivery

Earlier technical-lead work includes new CCTV features, Qt and web interfaces, TCP/IP log-recording systems, industrial measurement applications and H.264/H.265 video-streaming software. These projects span C/C++, C#, databases, Windows and Linux application frameworks. They provide a broad foundation for simulation tools that need reliable data flows, clear interfaces and robust integration across multiple technologies.

Education & Development

His academic foundation is Computer Engineering at Can Tho University (2008–2012). He holds a Master’s degree in Computer Engineering. His professional history includes FPT Software and Hitachi Vantara Vietnam. Technical tools span C/C++, Python, Rust and C#, Linux/Qt, Docker, GitLab CI/CD, CARLA, ROS 2, esmini, OpenSCENARIO and OpenDRIVE.

Collaboration

Hoang is a fit for partners who need a simulation or SDV development platform that can grow with their engineering program. He can help define platform boundaries, select and integrate tools, establish scenario and result workflows, connect HMI applications and improve build/test automation. His role combines hands-on technical work with the coordination needed to make a platform usable by a wider team.

Full professional background

14 years across embedded and automotive software, currently directing a 5-engineer team building a CARLA- and ROS2-based ADAS/SDV validation platform for a major automotive OEM
Owns scenario-generation and validation workflows using OpenSCENARIO/OpenDRIVE, esmini integration for lightweight scenario execution, and Virtual Cockpit/HMI validation support
Established CI/CD and QA workflows purpose-built for simulation platforms, and mentors engineers on architecture, debugging, and simulation-testing practice
Spent a decade as Tech Lead across five OEM/electronics programs before moving into ADAS/SDV: an automotive Telematics eCall application (10-engineer team), next-gen CCTV system features (Qt + Web, 6-engineer team), TCP/IP cashier-machine logging systems, industrial test-measurement software for bullet-train systems, and H264/H265 mobile video-streaming applications
Unusually broad platform range — from low-level embedded Linux/Qt/C++ delivery to full ADAS simulation architecture — backed by a track record spanning FPT Software and Hitachi Vantara since 2012
