Summary
Mason U'ren is a Staff Autonomy Software Engineer with nine years of experience building production-grade autonomous systems, embedded control software, and deep learning solutions from prototype to fielded product. He has led global teams and delivered high-stakes recoveries and safety-critical features—most notably rescuing a 65-ton electric mining truck and industrializing mm-accurate DNN-based tracking for real-time clients. Comfortable across C/C++, Python, ROS, RTOS and containerized CI pipelines, Mason blends rigorous software best practices with hands-on work in object detection, tracking, and vehicular cyber-security. He contributes DARPA-grade detection-by-tracking research to help first responders triage mass-casualty incidents and has a track record of translating research into resilient embedded and autonomy stacks. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he mentors engineers while driving pragmatic architecture and validation strategies that meet tight timelines and operational constraints.
