Summary
Jingyu Qian is a Staff Machine Learning Engineer with a decade of experience building deep learning systems for autonomous driving, currently developing next-generation models at XPENG in San Jose. He blends strong analytical and organizational skills with hands-on expertise in computer vision, motion prediction, and scalable cloud-based training pipelines demonstrated across roles at Horizon Robotics, Inceptio, and Aibee. A patent holder and published researcher (Harvard fMRI work accepted to Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience), he has also earned awards including a Waymo Dataset Challenge placement for motion prediction. While pursuing an M.Eng. in Electrical Engineering at Columbia and serving as a teaching assistant, Jingyu continues to bridge research and production—optimizing inference runtimes, automating multi-GPU workflows, and migrating experimental codebases into company-wide deep learning platforms.
