Summary
Srivatsan Srinivasan is a Technical Lead Manager in controls with nine years of experience building dynamics, estimation, and robust adaptive control systems for autonomous vehicles and mobile manipulation. Currently leading controls at Cyngn after senior research roles at Gatik, he bridges academic rigor—pursuing a PhD in automotive engineering—with hands-on production deployments in ADAS and commercial autonomy. His work spans vehicle dynamics, localization, and ML-informed control, reflecting internships and research collaborations with Blue River, Samsung Research America, and Mitsubishi Electric. Based in San Jose, he combines systems-level thinking with low-level control expertise to turn complex dynamics research into reliable, road-ready software. Outside work, he channels the same discipline into basketball, martial arts, and a steady appetite for technical books and films—an indicator of both team mindset and continuous self-improvement.
