Dear TIER IV Autoware Engineering & Talent Team,

I built a live interactive LiDAR perception simulation and bilingual engineering application package tailored for TIER IV in Shinagawa, Tokyo:

• Live Interactive CV (Real-Time LiDAR Point Cloud & Trajectory Planner): https://tier4.vaked.dev
• Formal 履歴書 + 職務経歴書 (PDF): https://tier4.vaked.dev/resume.pdf
• Edge & Systems Portfolio (PDF): https://tier4.vaked.dev/portfolio.pdf
• Full Application Dossier: https://tier4.vaked.dev/application

I bring 9+ years of production systems engineering across C, Rust, Go, Linux kernel internals (Inpedio kptr_restrict & eBPF), real-time 3D spatial visualization (Core Architect on Osiris — simplifaisoul/osiris), and 12.80× compressed edge GPU inference (MLX-QUANT / pureQTern). I am ready to contribute immediately to Autoware's safety-critical Rust and edge perception stack in Tokyo.

Warm regards,
Péter József Lódri

## 1. ELI5: What Does TIER IV Do & Why Do They Need You?
- **What they do:** TIER IV leads **Autoware**, the world's largest open-source autonomous driving operating system, deployed in robo-taxis, autonomous buses, and factory logistics across Japan and globally.
- **Why you are a SOTA match:** Self-driving vehicles cannot tolerate garbage-collection pauses, memory leaks, or floating-point drift at 60Hz sensor tick rates. TIER IV is aggressively adopting **Rust** alongside C++/CUDA for deterministic real-time safety. Your `#![no_std]` zero-allocation Rust crates (`mem-16-10`, `cogito`), sub-117ms deterministic latency caps, and cryptographic replay/verification gates (`Ed25519` / `BLAKE3`) are tailor-made for safety-critical autonomous systems.

Dear TIER IV Engineering Recruitment Team,

I am applying for the Senior Rust Systems & Edge Infrastructure Engineer role at TIER IV in Tokyo. My engineering focus is deterministic, zero-allocation Rust systems, real-time telemetry pipelines, and GPU-accelerated inference with strict latency and reproducibility guarantees.

Highlights relevant to Autoware and TIER IV's real-time vehicle stack:

1. `#![no_std]` Zero-Allocation Rust & Hard Real-Time Latency Caps (`cogito` & `mem-16-10`):
   - Authored pure `#![no_std]` Rust libraries with zero heap allocations, deterministic integer-only phase locking (`Z_{2^32}`), and hardware `CLZ`-seeded math kernels verified under strict latency budgets (`1M` calls in `5.52 ms`).
   - Built adversarial bit-flip sanitizers (`pos & neg == 0`) that detect and quarantine corrupted sensor/weight bitplanes in O(1) bitwise instructions before execution.
2. High-Throughput Telemetry & Mesh Networking (`8b-is-engine`):
   - Engineered WebSocket + QUIC mesh relays with deterministic frame boundaries, challenge-response clock proofs, and hash-chained event replay ledgers (`BLAKE3` + `Ed25519`).
3. Reproducible Fleet Infrastructure (`nix-base`):
   - Manage a multi-architecture (`x86_64` + `aarch64`) declarative NixOS fleet with automated CI canary verification—directly transferable to reproducible ECU and vehicle edge deployments.

- Interactive Portfolio: https://teamlab.vaked.dev

I am currently in Tokyo and eager to help TIER IV advance safe, deterministic Rust infrastructure for Autoware.

Best regards,
