Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Belbin is an electrical engineer focused on compute and vehicle systems, bringing eight years of hands-on experience in automotive and robotics hardware across startups and AV leaders. Currently on Waymo’s compute EE team, he previously drove hardware-software integration at Zoox where he redesigned power architectures that saved hundreds of thousands annually and led complex PCBA and camera-module projects. His background spans power electronics, high-density PCB design, and manufacturing test automation, with repeated success scaling student ROV and Hyperloop systems into competition-ready, production-minded hardware. Comfortable from firmware bring-up to EOL testers, he blends circuit-level rigor with system-level cost and reliability improvements. Based in San Francisco but raised and educated in Newfoundland, he pairs strong lab and CNC/machining experience with a knack for mentoring younger engineers and translating research prototypes into manufacturable products. An avid contributor to vehicle and underwater robotics projects, he often bridges mechanical, electrical, and firmware teams to deliver integrated solutions.
