Portrait of Luca Parolini

I design, develop and test safety-critical software for automated driving at SAE level 3 and above at BMW AG in Munich. Earlier I spent five years at GE Global Research, first as a Research Engineer, then as Lead Research Engineer, working on control and sensor-fusion algorithms across oil & gas, avionics and power transmission, and leading technical teams and research-funding efforts.
