Summary
Yang Li is a software development engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in automotive control systems, now applying that domain expertise at AWS in Seattle. He has led and delivered across the full product lifecycle—from requirements and algorithm design to calibration, MIL/SIL/HIL validation, and production release—across engine, transmission, and hybrid powertrain domains. Proficient in embedded C and model-based design using MATLAB/Simulink/Stateflow, he pairs hands-on controls development with systems-level testing on dynamometers and vehicles. At GM he progressed from transmission and engine controls to senior electric drive controls and scrum lead for motor inverter feedback, demonstrating both technical depth and team leadership. Known for embracing hard problems (his GitHub tagline: "Trouble is my friend"), he brings a pragmatic, test-driven approach to delivering robust embedded software.
