Summary
Christian Paulin is a Senior Software Engineer with 20+ years delivering test automation, tooling, and embedded C++ systems across networking and hardware manufacturing. He blends deep protocol and network test expertise (ATM, MPLS, SONET, IP, SNMP) with modern infrastructure work—building fault-tolerant C++ services, gRPC backends, and Flask UIs for hardware calibration and manufacturing at Waymo and Zoox. A longtime test-automation architect, he designs end-to-end test suites and distributed test infrastructure using Python, TCL/TK, SQLite and custom device interfaces, and has repeatedly multiplied team efficiency through mentoring and process improvements. His background spans both feature development (C++ router/switch code, IGMP) and automation server design, giving him rare visibility into product and test lifecycles. Based in Mountain View, he excels at scaling hardware test systems for high-reliability products like LIDARs and inertial sensors. He often surfaces non-obvious gains by reusing virtualization and orchestration to dramatically cut test execution time and resource waste.
