Dustin Richards is an embedded systems software engineer with eight years of hands-on experience across firmware, hardware, and systems engineering, currently advancing a master's in Computer Science and Engineering at South Dakota Mines. He builds autosteer and precision-agriculture systems at Raven Industries/CNH, combining low-level Linux driver work, sensor integration, and real-world embedded tooling (and yes—Vim). His internships at Medtronic and Daktronics sharpened his ability to optimize DMA/PCIe flows, write robust C/C++ firmware, and validate complex display and IMU systems. As president of Rocker Robotics he balances team leadership and mentorship with active technical contribution, and he once ran a licensed aerial imaging business—bringing practical field experience to sensor and robotics projects.
