Summary
Rishi Gottumukkala is a computer engineering senior at UIUC with eight years of hands-on experience focused on ASIC design, FPGA development, hardware design, and mobile robotics. He has interned in mixed-signal and embedded systems roles at CesiumAstro and Rivian and led avionics telemetry and hardware efforts for the Illinois Space Society, blending firmware, electronics, and systems integration. His campus research and OpenLab work reflect a strong academic-to-practice trajectory, tackling real-world sensing and telemetry challenges. Rishi pairs classroom learning in AI/ML with practical hardware projects, enabling cross-disciplinary solutions that span silicon to robotics. Based in Champaign, he brings a rare combination of avionics team leadership and low-level hardware experience for someone still completing their degree.
