Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJon Fink is a technology leader and CTO with 16 years of experience translating robotics research into field-ready autonomy for uncrewed ground vehicles. He spent over a decade at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory leading foundational single- and multi-agent autonomy programs spanning physics-based simulation, cooperative drone payload transport, and wireless network maintenance by mobile teams. At Overland AI he combines full-stack autonomy development with product-facing engineering to move systems from lab prototypes to operational deployments. He holds a PhD in Electrical and Systems Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania and a BS from RPI, pairing deep academic rigor with practical systems engineering. Notably, his background bridges mechanism-level simulator work through to multi-agent field coordination—skills that reduce the gap between autonomy research and real-world military and commercial applications.
