Top SchoolKevin Choi is a director-level robotics and autonomy leader with a decade of experience architecting perception, sensing, and mapping systems for real-world robotic platforms. Based in San Diego, he has risen through engineering and management ranks at Shield AI—from senior autonomy engineer to Director of Advanced Autonomy Applications—bridging hands-on AI/robotics development with operational integration and test. Trained as an aerospace-minded mechanical engineer (UCLA) with an MS in Robotics from Michigan, he combines hardware-savvy systems thinking with software-first autonomy design. Kevin is known for turning research-grade algorithms into robust, field-deployable solutions and for scaling cross-functional teams that deliver on safety-critical autonomy milestones. An understated strength is his background in mechanical and aerospace contexts, which gives him uncommon fluency in sensor-mechatronic trade-offs that accelerate iteration on flight and ground robots.
