Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Cairl is a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in application-level architecture for robotics systems, currently advancing robotics software at Oishii. He prefers C++ and Python and focuses on perception and planning, blending algorithm design, deep learning integration, and graphics/simulator engineering to deliver robust, production-ready systems. His background spans principal and senior engineering roles at Fetch Robotics and hands-on system and embedded development from graduate research, giving him rare end-to-end exposure from hardware to high-level software. Brian’s work often intersects game-engine-style simulators and real-world robotic deployment, enabling faster iteration on perception and motion-planning stacks. Known for pragmatic system integration and clean C++ craftsmanship, he brings both academic rigor from an NYU master’s in robotics and practical field-tested solutions to complex autonomy problems.
