Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolClinton Liddick is a Staff Safety Systems Engineer in Mountain View with 12 years of experience building safety-critical autonomous systems across aerial and ground platforms. He blends hands-on software and hardware integration with systems architecture, behavioral requirements engineering, fault management, and safety lifecycle processes to deliver resilient, standards-compliant products. At Aurora and Zipline he led HIL platform development, software integrity and verification strategies, and cross-functional programs that scaled testing from benches to fleets and enabled commercial launches. He routinely translates complex safety cases into practical requirements and tooling—authoring hundreds of requirements, redefining release/versioning practices, and evaluating dozens of internal software tools for qualification. Comfortable both leading teams and diving into C++/Python embedded and cloud tooling, he’s equally at home modeling in SysML or implementing real-time test systems. An early background in Chinese language and robotics research adds a broader cultural and technical perspective that informs his collaborative leadership.
