Senior🎓
Top SchoolColton Smith is a Senior Software Engineer based in Mountain View with six years of experience building vehicle and embedded software, currently shaping in-car infotainment and Robotaxi user experiences at Tesla. He combines a strong systems background—C++, Python, Linux, CANBUS, TCP/UDP networking—with hands-on experience designing distributed control systems for tunneling and robotics. At Paradigm Hyperloop he led the control and telemetry architecture for a Tunnel Boring Machine, creating microcontroller networks and ECU software that streamed real-time telemetry for surface control. A high-performing Computer Engineering graduate (3.97 GPA) from Memorial University, Colton has moved quickly from internships to senior roles while maintaining a practical focus on reliability and performance. He brings cross-domain experience from holographic rendering to plant automation and has a knack for turning complex hardware-software interactions into robust, testable systems. Colton’s combination of vehicle UI work and low-level control systems gives him uncommon breadth across user-facing product and embedded infrastructure.
