Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAbhishek Nayak is a Senior Software Engineer in Test specializing in automated driving, combining eight years of industry and research experience spanning autonomous systems, motion-constrained planning, and machine vision. He holds a Ph.D. from Texas A&M and has transitioned academic advances in multi-agent SLAM, reinforcement learning heuristics, and curvature-constrained planning into practical autonomy work at MathWorks and startups. His background in mechanical and powertrain engineering (TVS Motor Company) gives him a rare systems-thinking perspective that bridges low-level vehicle dynamics with high-level perception and planning. At Joulea he led development of a GPS-denied UAS inspection system, and his GitHub-stated mission—helping robots see the world and move around—reflects hands-on expertise in robotics stacks like ROS and simulation-driven testing. Colleagues describe him as someone who turns rigorous modeling and experimental validation into robust automated-driving test frameworks that accelerate product readiness.
