Senior🎓
Top SchoolNilay Sheth is an Innovation Engineer with nine years' experience designing embedded and control systems for robotics, aerospace, and automotive applications. Based in Amsterdam, he currently develops the embedded and control stack for Fugro’s underwater robots used in offshore energy and marine research. His background includes building safety-critical ISO26262-style ECUs, Kalman-based state estimators, J1939 diagnostics, and 4G telemetry for hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, plus hands-on work on ESP32 firmware and motor control drivers. He was part of the Delft team that won the AlphaPilot autonomous drone challenge, contributing nonlinear control, RANSAC localization and HiL tools—experience that informs his practical, test-driven approach to autonomy. Comfortable across firmware, control theory and system integration, he brings both rigorous academic training (MSc Embedded Systems, TU Delft) and a track record of taking prototypes through to factory acceptance. Colleagues rely on him to bridge research-grade algorithms and field-ready, safety-conscious embedded implementations.
