Summary
Bryce Hathaway is a Staff Engineer based in Berkeley with two decades of hands-on experience spanning hardware, firmware, embedded drivers, and user-facing applications. He excels at being the technical "glue" who elevates engineering practices, mentors junior engineers, and drives cross-disciplinary architecture decisions that unblock product delivery. At Zendar he progressed from implementing radar boot firmware and FPGA DMA adaptations to defining projects and mentoring teams as a staff-level contributor. His background includes building LIDAR and camera collection systems with ROS at HERE and Earthmine, plus early work on compilers and test frameworks at Digi and NVIDIA, giving him rare end-to-end systems fluency. Colleagues seek him out for pragmatic design guidance and systems-level tradeoffs that balance hardware constraints with developer productivity.
