Top SchoolJared Wilson is a Firmware Engineer in San Francisco with 8 years of deep GNSS and embedded systems experience, currently driving firmware autonomy integration at Zoox. He builds GNSS interface drivers, offline localization tooling, and IMU fault-injection pipelines while supporting fleet and test-stand diagnostics for autonomous vehicles. Prior roles at Swift Navigation and Topcon saw him lead GNSS test automation, HITL sustainment, and large-scale drive and lab validation efforts for precision receivers and PPP services. Jared combines C++ firmware development with a strong testing-and-validation mindset, plus practical Python tooling for data collection and analysis. He also brings uncommon domain breadth from founding a wind-energy modeling startup and operational experience as a US Army combat engineer, which inform his systems-level thinking and field-focused pragmatism.
