Summary
Mitchell Sayer is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building autonomy and robotics software, currently advancing perception and decision systems at Anduril Industries. He combines a strong academic foundation from San José State University in computer/electrical engineering with hands-on work integrating LiDAR, GNSS, and IMU for reliable real-world localization and perception. His background includes research and production roles at HRL Laboratories and early-stage internships where he shipped embedded and full-stack products, from CAN-driven vehicle firmware to React Native apps. Known for writing well-structured, documented C++ for safety-critical systems, he also brings PCB and firmware design experience from Formula SAE and a track record of turning research prototypes into deployable autonomy features. A less obvious strength is his cross-domain fluency—moving between low-level embedded systems, perception pipelines, and cloud-enabled tooling—which helps bridge gaps between hardware teams and software delivery.
