Summary
Peter Jan is a Senior Systems Engineer specializing in ADAS, control systems, and motion planning for connected and autonomous vehicles, with a decade of hands-on experience across startups, academia, and production OEM work. He has designed and implemented vehicle controllers using both analog and digital sensors, deployed control algorithms on Linux-based microcontrollers, and transitioned research from Carnegie Mellon into production roles at companies like Canoo and Rivian. His background spans the full development lifecycle—from Simulink/C++ model-based S-functions to in-vehicle integration and ADAS system management—giving him a rare blend of theory and practical deployment experience. Based in Los Angeles, he actively seeks collaborations with academics and industry peers in robotics and autonomous navigation, and his early roots as an automotive technician give him pragmatic insight into vehicle systems that informs his engineering decisions.
