Summary
Min Jung is a Managing Principal Software Engineering leader with 17 years of experience designing and building safety-critical, real-time robot control systems, now leading engineering at Intuitive in Sunnyvale. He combines deep hands-on expertise across kernel-level drivers, EtherCAT/CANopen controllers, and cross-platform real-time stacks (QNX, RTAI, Xenomai) with a PhD-grounded research background in systematic architectures for verification and validation. Min is a principal contributor to the open-source cisst C++ framework and developed practical kinematic calibration and nonlinear optimization methods that transitioned from research into production surgical robots. Earlier in his career he designed high-performance MMORPG server infrastructure and performance tooling, a less-obvious thread that informs his emphasis on scalable, test-driven system design. Known for bridging academia and industry, he drives measurable quality and safety improvements across complex robotics systems.
