Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Alvarado is a Director of Software with 12 years of experience specializing in robotics software for unmanned ground and surface vehicles. He leads software teams at Carnegie Robotics, bringing hands-on expertise from multiple engineering roles there and from autonomy work at Uber’s Advanced Technologies Group. His background blends MRSD robotics training from Carnegie Mellon with electrical and computer engineering fundamentals, enabling him to bridge low-level sensors, FPGA drivers, and high-level autonomy stacks. Early research on autonomous pursuit and trimodal sensor fusion for surface vessels demonstrates a longstanding focus on integrating LIDAR, IMU, and control systems. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic leader who still dives into device drivers and on-board communications when projects demand it. Based in Pittsburgh, he builds reliable, field-ready robotic systems that emphasize safe autonomy and real-world deployability.
