Summary
Caitlin Stanton is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Francisco with 11 years of experience building embedded and robotics systems, focused most recently on acoustics, FPGA, and Linux device driver development for autonomous vehicles. A Cornell M.Eng. and B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering, she has led platform acoustics and eFPGA efforts at Cruise, coordinating cross-functional validation, manufacturing bring-up, and vendor partnerships to deliver features like two-way calling and emergency vehicle detection. Caitlin pairs deep hardware-software integration skills with production-oriented test and regression strategies, and has extended that expertise across roles at GM, SPAN, Lyft, Microsoft, and Qualcomm. Beyond engineering, she cofounded multiple hackathons and mentorship programs and remains an active advocate for diversity in tech, combining technical leadership with public speaking and community building. An uncommon strength is her track record of translating early FPGA/driver prototypes into scalable manufacturing-ready solutions across vehicle programs.
