About Drake Perez
I\'m Drake, and I\'m a value-driven engineering leader and project manager. I\'m passionate about new technology and helping organizations actualize their goals through developing world-leading products and services. As the PMO Manager for the Autonomous Road Train Business Unit, I am responsible for managing the onboard autonomous vehicle and manually operated vehicle development project teams, field test execution, and deployment of the world\'s first production autonomous road train fleet as part of the Hexagon Autonomous Haulage Solution. I\'m interested in creating new ventures (entrepreneurial or corporate) and guiding technologies from idea to customer/stakeholder value. My professional experience includes aerospace component/assembly/system certification, aerospace testing apparatus design, medium/heavy/severe duty vehicle requirement definition, technical project management, and managing cross-functional engineering teams. Compliance, product requirement definition, technical writing, and AGILE software/hardware product development are my specialties. I am also versed in Kaizen, SCRUM, six sigma, and lean processes.
