Summary
Vipul Lakhani is a Sr. Staff Software Engineer with nine years of deep embedded and real-time systems experience across aerospace, defense, and commercial platforms. He specializes in trusted PNT (GPS/sensor fusion), GNSS receiver modernization, and ML/CV-driven target and anomaly detection for avionics and ground systems, contributing to programs for Joint Strike Fighter and B-2 platforms. Vipul blends low-level C/C++ firmware and driver design with higher-level algorithm work—shipping digital ASIC SoC features, sensor fusion stacks for Qualcomm modems, and embedded ML for radar and EW systems. He has repeatedly bridged research and product delivery, implementing real-time OS environments, reinforcement learning for electronic protection, and cloud/edge data ingest pipelines. Based in Mission Viejo, he pairs a UC San Diego MS in CSE with hands-on experience that spans ocean observatory telemetry to modernized military navigation, reflecting both breadth and depth in safety- and mission-critical systems.
