Senior🎓
Top SchoolMaitreya Naik is a Staff Software Engineer specializing in motion planning, controls, and systems design for mobile and field robots, with a decade of experience and an MS in Robotic Systems Development from Carnegie Mellon. He has driven autonomy work across roles at Aurora and Uber ATG, building practical solutions for robots operating in both mapped and unstructured environments—from urban self-driving stacks to off-road and indoor terrain traversal. Comfortable in C/C++ and Python, he pairs hands-on implementation with systems-level thinking to identify requirements, foresee risks, and keep teams on schedule. His background spans research internships (TU Delft), teaching assistance at CMU, and hands-on robotics leadership from student clubs to industry, reflecting a blend of academic rigor and production delivery. Outside work he blends disciplined curiosity—reading novels, learning languages, and following engineering media—with a taste for anime and tech trends, which informs a pragmatic but imaginative approach to robotic systems.
