Summary
Luis Godinez is an engineering program manager specializing in AIML with nine years of experience building complex, safety-critical systems across autonomy, aerospace, and consumer products. He currently leads efforts at Apple to translate LLM advances into distinctive product experiences, after accelerating autonomy tooling and visualization for robotic data in SPG. Luis blends aerospace engineering rigor from roles at Google/Waymo and American Airlines with hands-on product design and hardware skills as the founder of UNGODLY.DESIGN, where he designs PCBs, DFM-conscious 3D parts, and prototypes end-to-end products. He co-founded a computer-vision SaaS startup (ParkIT) that was acquired, demonstrating his ability to take ML-driven products from prototype to exit. A Stanford LEAD alum and Embry‑Riddle aerospace graduate, he pairs technical depth (C++, Python, SQL, web stacks) with cross-functional program leadership that connects research, firmware, and user-facing design. Not obvious from titles: he routinely moves between low-level avionics troubleshooting and high-level product strategy, making him effective at shipping innovative, reliable systems.
