Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJessica Austin is a senior robotics software leader with 13 years of experience building autonomous systems, ocean data platforms, and full-stack infrastructure from prototype to commercial deployment. Based in Anchorage, she has led cross-functional teams to deliver Bedrock’s first commercially viable AUV mapping system—integrating navigation sensors and multibeam sonar—and scaled a robotics org through hiring, mentoring, and CI/DevOps standardization. Her background blends rigorous robotics control and embedded development (CMU MS in Robotics, Caltech undergrad) with production-grade backend systems for long-running environmental data pipelines. She’s shipped mission-critical features such as onboard data quality control, robust low-bitrate comms, and fault detection frameworks that eliminated expensive re-surveys for clients. Equally comfortable in the field on multiweek offshore deployments and architecting cloud-enabled data services, she couples hands-on technical execution with product-focused roadmapping and operational expertise.
