Summary
Lingqiao Qin is a Staff Technical Safety Engineer based in Mountain View with nine years of experience at the intersection of vehicle safety, transportation engineering, and data science. He combines deep domain expertise in vehicle dynamics, finite element crash modeling, and occupant kinematics with advanced data skills—large-scale cleaning, fusion, visualization, and modeling using R, Python, SAS, and MATLAB. His work spans industry leaders (Rivian, Volkswagen Group Technologies, Zoox) and academic research at UW–Madison, applying tools like HyperWorks, Madymo, VISSIM, and TransCAD to bridge simulation-driven safety analysis and real-world traffic behavior. Fluent with safety standards (AASHTO, HCM, HSM, MUTCD, SOTIF, ISO 26262), he delivers outcomes that link regulatory rigor to practical engineering solutions. Notably, he pairs statistical and transportation PhD training with hands-on ETL and database experience, enabling both high-fidelity physical simulation and large-scale quantitative evaluation of safety systems.
