Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOm Kukunuru is a motion planning engineer with eight years of experience focused on trajectory generation and controls for autonomous driving, currently shaping parking and simulation capabilities at Lucid Motors. He pairs academic research—state lattice planning, A*-fused b-splines, MPC-based trajectory generation—with hands-on implementation in Simulink, MATLAB and C++ to produce real-time, car-integrated solutions. His background includes building ROS-based data pipelines, client-server simulation architectures with Carla, and automated toolchains (Docker, code generation) that bridge research and production. Comfortable across perception, mapping, and vehicle dynamics, he also has prior software-engineering experience automating large test suites and improving QA productivity. Based in Newark, CA, he blends rigorous control-theory research with practical system integration to deliver deployable autonomous behaviors.
