Summary
Jeremy Wong is a software engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in robotics localization, sensor fusion, and SLAM, currently building localization and mapping components for Nuro's autonomy stack. He combines strong academic credentials (MASc in Robotics) and a proven publication record at RAL, ICRA and IROS with hands-on systems experience on real robots and UAVs, from continuous-time motion priors to pose-graph outlier rejection. His background spans embedded firmware at Tesla, ROS-based systems and cloud CI for robot fleets, and full-stack engineering across start-ups and research labs, enabling him to move algorithms into reliable production. An avid marathoner and novice baker, he brings the discipline of endurance training and experimentation to long-running system reliability and iterative research. Notably, he has implemented vision-based GPS-denied flight and learned priors for lidar localization—work that bridges cutting-edge research with deployable autonomy.
