Andre Giere is a Senior Manager of Radar Algorithm & Microwave at Cruise Munich. He leads a team that develops 4D imaging radar systems designed to generate dense radar point clouds for Level 4/Level 5 autonomous vehicle systems. These systems are optimized to enable robust perception and provide reliable data for autonomous vehicles at both short and long distances, under various weather conditions, ensuring safe driverless rides in urban environments. Before Cruise acquired Astyx in April 2020, Andre worked at Astyx GmbH, before Cruise acquired Astyx in April 2020. At Astyx he was involved in various projects challenging the 77GHz microwave design and radar signal processing. At Astyx, Andre contributed significantly to the development and evaluation of high-resolution radar systems for automotive and industry applications. The work at Astyx laid a strong foundation for his current role at Cruise, where he continues to push the boundaries of radar technology for autonomous driving. Andre's passion lies in radio frequency technology and advanced signal processing algorithms. He earned his PhD in 2009 in High-frequency Engineering from the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany. His expertise and leadership have been instrumental in advancing radar technology for autonomous driving.

The Pop in Your Job – What drives you? Why do you love your job?
The energy with which we are able to tackle technology challenges drawing on experience in radar technology combined with passion for AD makes working on this team at cruise an absolute pleasure. Andre's team develops 4D imaging radar systems to generate dense radar point clouds for L4/L5 systems. These systems are optimized to enable robust perception and provide reliable data for AVs at short or long distances, by day and night, in sunshine or heavy rain, for safe driverless rides in our cities.
