Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Pearce is a Senior Software Engineer in New York with 11 years of experience designing embedded systems and high-performance C++ applications across industrial automation, transit systems, and naval electronics. He has led low-level integration of cameras, motor controllers, and microscopy hardware at Nanotronics while optimizing GPU-accelerated image pipelines and developing wafer-alignment algorithms that materially increased throughput. At New York City Transit he designed custom PCBs, IoT firmware, and automated test frameworks for mission-critical signage and fare systems, blending hands-on hardware prototyping with embedded software in C, C++, Python and JavaScript. His background includes systems engineering for ship control at Electric Boat and instrumentation testing at Sandia, giving him deep familiarity with requirements-driven development and lab-grade validation. Now at MongoDB, he brings that hardware-focused rigor to larger-scale software problems, pairing concurrency and performance expertise with pragmatic test-driven practices. Colleagues rely on him for solving hard integration challenges where software, firmware, and physical systems meet.
