Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFeroze Naina is a SLAM engineer with 14 years of experience specializing in perception, 3D registration, pose estimation and systems architecture for robotics. He has shipped production-grade systems across medical robotics (developing the NAVIO surgical robot at Smith & Nephew), automotive autonomy (Zoox and Mercedes‑Benz R&D), and academic robotics research from CMU’s Robotics Institute. A CMU MS graduate whose capstone contributed to a top-10 finish in the 2016 Amazon Picking Challenge, he brings deep C++ and Python expertise cultivated in both open-source and commercial projects. His background in electrical engineering and sensor instrumentation informs practical sensor fusion and localization designs that bridge hardware constraints and software performance. Comfortable moving ideas from research prototypes to robust fielded systems, he still takes referrals for opportunities at Zoox. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he combines hands‑on implementation skills with systems-level thinking across perception stacks.
