Senior🎓
Top SchoolChao Wan is a Staff Electrical & Embedded Systems Engineer with nine years of experience designing and delivering embedded hardware and firmware for wireless sensors, robotic controls, and computer-vision systems. Based in Jersey City, he has progressed through hands-on roles at Burro from embedded engineer to staff lead, driving end-to-end PCB, power management and real-time firmware development for autonomous agricultural robots. His PhD-level research produced multi-channel high-speed data acquisition, energy-harvesting power systems, and non-contact damage detection using optical flow—work that bridges academic rigor with practical productization. Known for a "less is more" approach on GitHub, he favors minimal, efficient solutions and has repeatedly reduced cost and complexity in production designs (e.g., shrinking BDM hardware by 60%). Colleagues rely on him for integrating low-level firmware, FPGA/Verilog, and system-level architectures to turn prototypes into reliable, deployable systems.
