MISSION

Autonomous Vehicle Solutions

We build solutions to enhance the capability, robustness, safety, and acceptance of intelligent ground vehicles and mobile robotics. We create technology to make transportation more effective and efficient in the service of creating a brighter, better future for all humankind. And we do it all as a proud subsidiary of, and in the service to, Ford Autonomous Vehicles, LLC.

Developing autonomous vehicle solutions

TECHNOLOGIES

MOBILE ROBOTICS

Innovating software and hardware that makes vehicles smarter. Sensing and perception, control, robust teleoperation, multi-vehicle coordination, user interface design, and more. We’re robot folks through and through, and we apply our expertise to improve transportation and mobility.

SIMULATION

Developing “serious” engineering sim leveraging real-time, interactive tech drawn from the game industry. We build tools that help autonomous vehicle developers understand, test, and validate their products.

AI & ALGORITHMS

Creating unique, robust AI that transforms raw data into useful information and shapes the behavior of the vehicle or system. Math is the language of nature, and we speak it fluently.

PROTOTYPING

Building, refining, and testing integrated hardware and software systems for use on and off-board ground vehicles. Custom mechanisms, PCBs, and embedded — our team builds and delivers products that work.

WHO WE ARE

Quantum Signal AI has a rich 20-year history of delivering real-world AI-driven results. We’re creative folks working in a creative environment, where the best ideas sometimes strike over BBQ or a spirited ping-pong match. And we kick it old-school, literally, each and every day in our historic HQ!

LEADERSHIP

We’re a ragtag band of scruffy nerfherders who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. People with experience. People who care.
Mitch Rohde, PhD
Chief Executive Officer

Co-founder and leader for two decades, Mitch is really an engineer through and through – wielding an algorithm, soldering iron, or PowerPoint with equal deftness. Totally overeducated and usually overfed, on weekends you can find him working on arcade games.

Rob Lupa
Chief Technology Officer

As the tech “soul” of the operation, Rob combines equal levels of engineering brilliance with polished sass in the service of motivating our technology teams as they build powerful solutions. And he can cook a mean pasta, too.

Disa Webb, CPA
Chief Financial Officer

Wielding her razor-like wit and long-time CPA experience, Disa keeps the finances in order and that whole money-thing under control. Get her a Brennivín and she will share wild Excel stories.

Chris Showers
Chief Information Officer

The man our teams love and hackers secretly despise, Chris is an IT army that makes the network run 24/7/365. He also has superhero skills involving long-distance running and stand up-comedy (no joke!).

WE'RE HIRING!

As a subsidiary of Ford Autonomous Vehicles, we are developing technologies to advance the future of smart transportation. Our team and environment supports and rewards creativity, intelligence, and hard work. If you like new challenges, learning, and technical variety, we’re eager to work with you!
