Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJustin Watson is a Senior Robotic Systems Engineer with 12 years of hands-on experience designing firmware and system integrations for autonomous logistics robots. He blends low-level embedded C/Assembly expertise with higher-level Python, ROS, and systems integration—having led charging system design (6–10 kW over CAN) and smartcard integrations (ISO 14443/7816) at Fetch Robotics. His background spans motion control firmware used at scale, production automation tools he built in Python, and practical experience connecting firmware to cloud and mapping stacks from his drone and self-driving coursework. Comfortable across electrical design, USB/Bluetooth interfaces, and CAN/Ethernet protocols, he is as adept debugging complex field systems as shipping new product firmware. A Udacity Self-Driving Car Nanodegree and a history of shipping multiple embedded products give him a rare combination of algorithmic knowledge and production-grade engineering. Based in Sparks, Nevada, he quietly thrives on solving interdisciplinary problems where hardware, firmware, and robotics software meet.
