Summary
Darie Roman is a Staff Engineer in embedded systems with 11 years of experience building robotics and automation software, currently based in Old Toronto. A University of Toronto M.Eng. graduate specializing in swarm and aerial robotics, he blends academic research with hands-on engineering across motor control, computer vision, PLCs, and electrical panel design. He has led teams that delivered vision-guided robotic systems capable of intercepting parts on moving conveyors without slowing production, and has iterated industrial control systems to reduce defect rates. Comfortable across firmware, mechatronics, and system integration, he moves fluidly between low-level motor drivers and higher-level autonomy stacks. Known for combining practical factory-floor pragmatism with autonomy research, he’s consistently drawn to autonomous systems that must operate reliably in real-world industrial settings.
