Don Bigler is a Vice President of Engineering with 15 years of experience building advanced software for HD video, computer vision, robotics, and nuclear NDE applications. He combines deep research credentials (Ph.D. in Bioengineering) with hands-on systems engineering across C/C++, Python, Matlab, and real-time/embedded platforms, having led projects in motion control, in-vessel localization, and 3D virtualization. His career spans academia to industry—designing MR imaging systems and enterprise-grade NDE tooling—where he has repeatedly bridged algorithmic ML/ signal processing work with production robotics and GUI/PLC integrations. Known for porting complex middleware (Actin) to RTOS and integrating it with ROS, he excels at turning research prototypes into deployable, safety-conscious systems. Based in Lynchburg, VA, he brings multidisciplinary depth and a pragmatic focus on operationalizing high-assurance vision and motion solutions.
