Ophelia Baird is a manufacturing process technician and former software engineer with nine years of hands-on experience bridging firmware-scale manufacturing and backend engineering. A CSU Monterey Bay computer science graduate, she cut her teeth as an UberEats backend intern writing Go services and later applied that systems mindset to complex hardware builds at Illumina and now Tesla’s Optimus program. She has owned process improvements, floor planning, and training for high-precision platforms like NovaSeq X while also performing detailed manual rework and chemical processes in production environments. Comfortable translating cross-functional requirements into robust manufacturing workflows, she’s equally at home adding observability to services and improving build-plan tracking on the factory floor. Based in San Jose, she brings a rare combination of software tooling experience and meticulous hardware process skills that reduce defects and streamline scale-up.
