Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGraciela Gonzalez is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of cross-disciplinary experience bridging mechatronics, test automation, and autonomous driving software. She began her career designing products and automating plastic extrusion machinery with LabVIEW and CompactRIO, cutting costs and delivering end-to-end solutions that combined hardware selection, HMI design, and deployment. At Continental she scaled test automation using Python and LabVIEW, saving hundreds of man-hours and improving validation reliability, then moved into tools and simulation work for autonomous systems at monoDrive and NI. Skilled at translating customer requirements into robust engineering solutions, she also develops educational content for self-driving curricula and built a web-based IDE used by hundreds of students. Based in Austin, she pairs hands-on embedded and controls expertise with software tooling and curriculum design—positioning her uniquely at the intersection of vehicle autonomy, test engineering, and developer productivity.
