Staff Hardware Engineer, R&D
Senior Hardware Engineer, R&D
As a hardware engineer in the R&D group, I utilize my cross-functional robotics expertise to develop products and features at the intersection of hardware and software. In my primary project, I am the technical lead for the development of a new high-performance, industrial-grade 3D camera product (recently announced as part of the RightPick 4 piece-picking system). I have also made countless smaller contributions to the RightPick codebase, including additional robot behavior improvements and bug fixes.
