Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Cheng is a software development engineer specializing in robotics, computer vision, perception, and path planning, with eight years of hands-on experience spanning software and mechanical domains. He holds an M.S. in Robotic Systems Development from Carnegie Mellon and has built production-grade platforms—from a ROS-based swarm robotics testbed integrating Vicon tracking to motion-sim VR hardware prototypes and a 6-DOF hybrid 3D house-printing system. At Amazon Lab126 he applies his cross-disciplinary background to ship embedded and systems software, bridging algorithmic robotics research with product engineering. Comfortable in SolidWorks, ROS/MoveIt, and control/automation stacks, he uniquely combines mechanical design instincts with software architecture skills. Outside work he composes and records music, a creative practice that complements his systems-level thinking and iterative engineering approach.
