Adi Nikumbh

I'm a BSc Computer Engineering student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I'm passionate about electric vehicles, robotics, embedded systems, and anything else cool that makes the world a better place while being at the intersection of software and hardware.

I currently am planning to get an MS in Electrical & Computer Engineering with a focus on Robotics and Embedded Systems.

I've been involved with my school's Formula SAE team, Illini Electric Motorsports, for three years, where I currently lead our electrical team as the Electrical Captain & Software Lead.

In the summer of 2024, I worked at Rivian Automotive as an Embedded Software Engineer Intern.

In the summer of 2025, I will work at Tesla Optimus as an Embedded Software Engineer Intern.

In the fall of 2025, I will work at NVIDIA as a Technical Product Engineering Intern.

In the winter of 2025-2026, I will work at Aetherflux as a Software Systems Engineering Intern.
