Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNigel Charleston is an Engineer II based in San Diego with ~8 years of software experience and nearly four focused on XR (VR/AR) and current work in robotics. He specializes in 6DOF SLAM, platform-agnostic software design, and full-stack tooling that spans embedded DSP co-processors to Android applications. At Qualcomm he led SLAM feature integrations, created a low-latency RPC for serialized anchors, and built high-bandwidth data-logging and wireless controller pose capture tooling that met real-time KPIs. Nigel combines systems-level optimization (shipping power and performance wins like a ~7mW savings) with hands-on feature delivery and cross-team collaboration. He also brings teaching and mentorship experience from multiple semesters as an instructor aid at the University of Michigan, which informs his clear technical communication and tooling focus. Pragmatic and detail-oriented, he tends to build diagnostics and playback tools that make complex sensor systems observable and repeatable.
