Hi, I'm Srikanth Gangula šŸ‘‹šŸ»

I’m a Systems and Safety Engineering Leader with over a decade of experience in safety-critical automotive systems, specializing in Steering and ADAS (Radar, Camera, Ultrasound). I possess deep expertise in ISO 26262, SOTIF (ISO 21448), and ML Safety, bridging the gap between theoretical safety frameworks and production-grade autonomy.

As a founding member of the SOTIF team at Rivian, I developed safety frameworks for Level 2+ features. Across my broader career, I have driven multiple ECUs into series production, owning ASIL-D safety architectures and managing ISO 26262/ASPICE audits. I lead by driving alignment across Software, Systems, and Validation teams to ensure safe, reliable launches.
