About

Gibin Joe Zachariah is an Engineering Services Engineer at Siemens Digital Industries Software. He specializes in control systems and has experience in various modern and classical control techniques like PID, LQR, LQG, and other optimal control techniques. He has knowledge in control algorithms used in vehicles such as steering control, active suspension, adaptive cruise control, and modeling and control of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles. Gibin has a Mechanical Engineering Master's degree from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and two years of automotive industrial experience designing clutch and clutch release systems. He has completed a three-month internship where he developed an Intersection Collision Mitigation control algorithm for autonomous vehicles, utilizing data from Lidar, Radar, and Camera to predict collision and estimate control commands to avoid it. He has also completed a research internship at the National University of Singapore, where he created a vehicle detection module using OpenCV to detect oncoming vehicles. Gibin has practical skills working with robotics and is adept in C, C++, and Python. He has experience in using ROS and Linux (Ubuntu) Operating System and is adept in the usage of software such as Creo, ANSYS, PreScan, Matlab, Simulink, LabView, and Amesim. At Siemens, he is responsible for developing control and path planning algorithms for ADAS and autonomous vehicle applications using MATLAB/Simulink, ROS, etc. He performs algorithm validation using simulation software such as Simcenter PreScan and Simcenter Amesim. He also develops HIL test harness and tests using dSPACE ControlDesk and dSPACE MotionDesk and creates software requirements for ADAS features. Gibin has worked as an Intelligent Vehicle Engineering Intern at Changan US R&D Center, Inc., where he developed a vehicle control algorithm Intersection Collision Mitigation System for autonomous vehicles and evaluated and fine-tuned the collision mitigation control algorithm. He has also worked as a Design Executive at Schaeffler, where he was responsible for design and development of automotive clutch and clutch release systems and proposed an idea to increase clutch life, which has been approved for patent application. Overall, Gibin has 6.78 years of relevant experience and is skilled in various aspects of control systems, robotics, software development, and automotive engineering.
