WORK HISTORY
Senior Field Solutions Engineer - Strategic Transit @Miovision
US
Engineered a custom transit data diagnostic platform using Python, Streamlit, and OpenAI (GPT-4o) to automate the evaluation of customer transit networks for TSP suitability. Integrated 3rd-party telematics and API-gated GTFS-Realtime feeds to calculate critical latency metrics, vehicle update frequencies, and on-time performance. Developed a \"data-chat\" interface for natural language querying of GTFS datasets and an automated reporting engine to generate co-branded performance audits.• Standardized the Transit Signal Priority (TSP) Pilot Statement of Work (SOW) by implementing a more rigorous statistical framework. Replaced traditional \"on/off\" study methodologies with advanced analysis techniques designed to better isolate the specific impacts of TSP and minimize environmental noise, ensuring more defensible performance data for agency stakeholders and future deployments.• Cultivated a strategic pipeline of high-priority transit pilots through on-site client engagements and technical consultations. Established technical requirements and project roadmaps for upcoming deployments, aligning Opticom solutions with specific agency operational challenges and long-term transit goals to drive future market expansion.• Architected cloud-native data ingestion and storage strategies to scale internal transit analytics. Defined the roadmap to transition the diagnostic platform to a persistent state within the corporate AWS environment, including Snowflake integration, to enable continuous recording and long-term performance trend analysis across the customer portfolio.

ABOUT STEVE ERICKSON
As Senior Field Solutions Engineer – Strategic Transit at Miovision, I operate at the intersection of customer needs, technical reality, and product strategy within the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) space. I bring a product-level mindset to complex technical and operational challenges faced by transit agencies and public safety organizations, grounded in more than five years of hands-on experience with large-scale ITS systems.My background combines hands-on technical leadership, product strategy, and field engagement, shaped by both my time as a U.S. Navy Nuclear Submarine Officer and my career in ITS. I translate real-world operational problems into clear technical requirements and product direction, ensuring that what we build is not only innovative, but deployable, reliable, and valuable in production environments.I focus on transit signal priority, analytics, system architecture flexibility, and next-generation cloud-based integrations. My work centers on turning customer problems and technical constraints into product direction that informs roadmap decisions and drives measurable impact.At my core, I’m a customer advocate and systems thinker who cares deeply about building transportation technology that works in the real world—making cities safer, transit more reliable, and infrastructure more intelligent.
