Summary
Lucas Therrien is an Electronics Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience bridging robotics, embedded systems, and machine learning, currently serving at Naval Air Systems Command. A UNC Charlotte computer engineering graduate with a concentration in ML and a background in FIRST Robotics, he has built control algorithms for campus delivery robots and implemented long-range LORA telemetry for ocean-mapping drones. His industry experience spans prototype firmware testing and component lifecycle automation at Phononic to systems-level electronics work for the U.S. Navy. Comfortable with Python tooling, firmware validation, and hardware-software integration, he brings a practical maker’s mindset to complex, safety-critical systems. Non-obvious: he pairs formal engineering work with competitive robotics roots, which informs a pragmatic, test-driven approach to rapid prototyping and field deployment.
