Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Torgesen is a Senior Software Engineering Manager who applies applied math, physics-based models, and model-driven reasoning to build perception, mapping, and autonomy software for primarily aerial robots. With nine years of experience spanning MIT research to progressive engineering and leadership roles at Anduril Industries, he specializes in computer vision, estimation, decision making, and control for multi-rotor and fixed-wing UAVs. He has a strong academic foundation (MS, MIT; BS, BYU) and hands-on systems experience from AFRL and Raytheon internships to production autonomy at scale. Known for learning new tools quickly, he blends research rigor with pragmatic engineering to move algorithms from lab prototypes into operational systems. Based in Irvine, CA, he channels a broad curiosity across arts and sciences into side projects that sharpen his technical creativity and problem framing. Notably, his work emphasizes model-based solutions that make flying systems more predictable, interpretable, and reliable in complex environments.
