Summary
Andrew Kramer is an applied scientist with 11 years of engineering and research experience focused on robotic localization, perception, and state estimation across industry and academia. He holds a PhD from the University of Colorado Boulder where he developed RADAR-based perception under a NASA fellowship, and has taken those advances into production—authoring a radar-inertial odometry ROS C++ package and contributing to a US patent application. His recent roles span Scythe Robotics and multiple applied scientist positions at Amazon, including work on Scout, Project Kuiper GNC, and automated warehouse computer vision systems, demonstrating an ability to move research into deployed systems. With a mechanical engineering foundation from the University of Washington and early aerospace experience at Boeing, he brings a practical, cross-disciplinary perspective to robust sensor fusion and real-world robotics problems.
