Jake Kemple is a founder and senior software engineer with 11 years of experience building systems from real-time avionics to distributed microservices and embodied AI. He designed and shipped aircraft condition monitoring software for the 777/787/777X and later led architecture for real-time lab data processing at Boeing, bridging legacy instrumentation with modern cloud-native services. Recently he completed an MS at the University of Washington focused on vision-language-action models for robotic manipulation and led a ROS2-based autonomy stack for a competition rover. Now operating a stealth startup with a first customer live, he favors 0-to-1 work, fast-moving teams, and equity-heavy roles. Jake blends low-level, safety-critical engineering rigor with applied AI and robotics research, making him effective at taking novel perception and control ideas into production. Based in Mountain View, he’s open to founding-engineer and senior IC roles across AI, robotics, and full-stack product.
