Hi, I've made this sensor holder in Autodesk Fusion 360, but now I want to
make it in OpenSCAD instead.

Do you have hints as to what approach I should take? Start with a 2D
figure, and extrude? Start with a 3D box, and cut out?

I'd do a 2D of the 'wall' profile & extrude, add the slightly raised base of
the wall as flat cube()'s then prob hull() a few circle()s to get the radius
of the curves of the base and extrude (or you could hull flat cylinder()'s)
