Brandon Frederick is an engineer with 12 years of hands-on robotics and mechanical experience, currently working as Engineer I at HRL Laboratories while consulting through Tek Enterprises. A Caltech MechE/CS student and veteran of competitive robotics (BattleBots, FRC, VEX) he combines rapid CAD-driven prototyping with systems-level thinking developed across internships at Moog, Field AI, and NASA. He excels at bridging hardware and software teams—having deployed payloads on Boston Dynamics Spot and authored simulations in C# for NASA research—while iterating tooling and parts in SolidWorks for manufacturing environments. Notable for translating competition-grade performance (Team Riptide’s strong BattleBots record) into industry-ready design and maintenance practices, he thrives in deadline-driven, interdisciplinary settings. Ambitious and curious, he’s leveraged selective programs like Google CSSI and Stanford pre-collegiate courses to deepen his software and simulation skills alongside mechanical expertise.
