Senior🎓
Top SchoolBryan Hicks is a Staff Embedded Software Engineer in Seattle with a decade building safety-critical cyber-physical systems for autonomous vehicles and devices. He has driven on-vehicle firmware and mission software for delivery drones and robots at scale—solving operational bottlenecks that enabled hundreds of robots and commercial drone pilots—while shaping architecture and certification strategies for IEC 61508, IEC 60730, and DO-178C risk reduction. Equally comfortable in C/C++ and ROS, he prototypes CPS middleware from research papers, selects hardware/toolchains for safety subsystems, and mentors junior engineers to raise organizational capability. Notably, he has led thermal hazard mitigation for drones and introduced multiversion, zero-downtime update strategies for heterogeneous fleets, blending field-hardened engineering with regulatory-minded design.
