Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGeoffrey Budd is a Staff Vehicle Integration Engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area with a decade of hands-on experience bridging industrial design, manufacturing automation, robotics, and autonomous vehicles. He has advanced vehicle and hardware integration at Toyota Research Institute and Waymo after roles building robot behaviors and hardware at X, Google, and startups where he wore many hats from engineer to head of engineering. His background as an aircraft metals technologist and machinist in the U.S. Air Force gives him uncommon shop-floor fluency that accelerates prototyping and builds practical, testable systems. Comfortable across software and hardware boundaries, he excels at early-stage implementation and systems integration rather than narrow specialization, bringing adaptability and a broad technical perspective to complex vehicle projects.
