Aidan Bowers is an embedded software developer and Systems Design Engineering student at the University of Waterloo with eight years of hands-on experience building firmware, flight-control systems, and hardware-software integration. He has led systems integration and advised firmware architecture for Waterloo Aerial Robotics Group’s custom ZeroPilot 3.0 flight stack, and now develops embedded systems at Teledyne FLIR. His background spans industry internships and roles at Cisco Meraki, Nuvation Energy, ESCRYPT and others, giving him practical depth across device software, embedded security, and energy systems. Aidan combines a maker’s curiosity for electrical hardware with disciplined systems thinking, preferring to prototype rapidly and iterate toward robust production designs. Outside work he competes in curling, climbs casually, and brings a lifelong Scout’s persistence and teamwork to challenging engineering problems.
