Cameron Tacklind is an embedded systems and robotics engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience building hardware-software products from concept to fielded systems. As a co-founder at Last Mile Robotics and 8B Medical and lead engineer at Twill Tech, he architects end-to-end control stacks—sensor acquisition through balancing algorithms to motor actuation—while owning software frameworks and hardware design. His skill set spans AVR and ARM assembly/C/C++, motor controllers, BLE/GSM connectivity, battery systems, PCB fabrication, CAD/3D printing and medical device development, with recent projects including solar-powered IoT systems and therapy devices for home use. Comfortable in both startup and consulting roles, he pairs low-level firmware expertise with practical productization experience (including a 40kWh EV battery pack software effort). Based in Menlo Park, he brings a hacker’s curiosity—willing to tackle lasers, power monitoring, and anything that makes motors “brrrrr”—and a track record of translating ambitious prototypes into reliable, real-world hardware.
