Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMax Freeman is a robotics software engineer based in Berkeley with eight years of hands-on experience building real-world robotic systems that bridge mechanical, electrical, and software domains. He has led multidisciplinary teams to deliver novel hybrid ground–aerial platforms and eVTOL research prototypes, shipping ROS2-based controllers, MPC trajectory planners, and custom logging/visualization tooling validated through extensive flight and tethered testing. Comfortable across rapid prototyping, systems integration, and control systems, Max pairs practical hardware bring‑up with rigorous control tuning to achieve centimeter‑level tracking performance. His background includes industry research stints (Toyota Research Institute, Lit Motors) and space- and biomedical-adjacent prototyping work, showing a knack for translating constrained lab requirements into robust, testable designs. Notably, he designed a Magnus-effect rotorcraft concept that improved lift-to-weight by 20% in prototype testing—illustrating his ability to combine unconventional aerodynamics with disciplined engineering.
