Mason Hawver is a software engineer with a decade of experience building production software and research systems, currently at RTX. He holds a 4.0 BS in Computer Science from the University of Minnesota and has blended rigorous academic work with applied engineering across robotics, computer vision, and embedded systems. In research roles he advanced self-supervised visual pretraining for robotic manipulation and built imitation-learning pipelines that transferred to real UR5e hardware. As a teaching assistant he designed assignments and an auto-grading system that improved grading throughput by 7× while teaching core vision topics like RANSAC and convolutional networks. In industry he delivered multiple features and bug fixes on avionics control units at Collins Aerospace and gained experience in embedded networking and secure development. Based in Cedar Rapids with roots in St. Louis and an interest in particle physics, he brings a research-minded curiosity to pragmatic, safety-critical software problems.
