Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarlos Chinchilla is a software engineer with 8 years of experience building embedded and systems software for products ranging from smart lighting and 3D printers to VR/AR platforms at Google. He specializes in embedded application development, firmware, automated testing, and secure over‑the‑air deployment, having led feature development and field update automation for hundreds of devices. His background in hardware design and robotics—designing PCBs and programming microcontrollers for TurtleBot, Raspberry Pi, and Arduino—gives him a strong cross-disciplinary edge when integrating software with physical systems. At Google he applies that combined hardware-software perspective to Daydream and AR/VR embedded projects, bringing practical experience in radio networks, CI/CD, and diagnostic tooling. Colleagues rely on him to ship robust, testable firmware and to translate complex hardware constraints into maintainable software.
