Summary
Jason Queen is an Engineering Manager with nearly a decade of hands-on experience building rugged, cross-disciplinary systems across renewable energy, autonomous vehicles, and enterprise software. He blends first-principles systems thinking with deep technical breadth—from embedded C/C++ and Yocto-based Linux to cloud-native platforms like Kubernetes, OpenShift and AWS—while leading and mentoring cross-functional teams. A former solar car driver and software lead for Team Arrow, he applies race-proven resilience and rapid iteration to electric vehicle and autonomous systems development. His background includes roles in DevOps, machine learning internships at BMW, and production-focused engineering at Prohelion and Origin Energy, reflecting a practical mix of research and industry delivery. Jason is as comfortable sketching PCB layouts or SolidWorks models as he is defining IaC and CI/CD pipelines, and he thrives on turning complex, multidisciplinary requirements into maintainable, scalable products.
