Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavide Bacchet is an engineering leader with 15 years of experience specializing in simulation, autonomous driving, and robotics, currently working at Applied Intuition in San Jose. He has held senior technical and leadership roles at Cruise, Voyage, NIO, Tesla, and Apple, building next-generation simulation tools and leading autonomy teams. Davide combines deep technical roots in virtual driver models and computational physics with hands-on delivery of large-scale simulation platforms for autonomy. He frequently moves between individual contributor distinguished engineer roles and executive leadership, showing both technical depth and organizational impact. Based in Silicon Valley, he blends academic training from Padova and Udine with a practical track record of shipping complex systems for AV perception, planning, and simulation. A less obvious strength is his longevity in virtual driver and simulation work dating back to academic research, giving him rare domain expertise that spans research to productization.
