Hans Susilo is a Senior ML Robotics Engineer with 11 years of experience building planning and control systems for autonomous vehicles, currently driving planning and controls at Cruise after shaping planner software at Waymo. He combines a dual MIT background in EECS and Mechatronics with hands-on expertise from research to production—designing online parameter estimation for manipulators at MIT CSAIL and implementing EKF-based sensor fusion for sub-millimeter positioning in industry. His career spans robot perception, probabilistic modeling, and real-time control across startups and tier-one autonomy companies, showing an unusual blend of academic rigor and shipping safety-critical systems. Based in Boston, he’s equally comfortable deriving algorithms on whiteboards and landing them in vehicle stacks, with a track record of improving robustness in noisy-sensor environments.
