Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeng Xu is a Staff Software Engineer in Mountain View with a decade of experience building real-time control and embedded systems for robotics and autonomous driving, now contributing to DeepMind after eight years at Google including Android sensor framework and Google Brain Robotics. He blends deep academic training (PhD in Electrical Engineering) with hands-on expertise in nonlinear/linear control, FPGA/embedded hardware, machine vision, and real-time system implementation. Peng has shipped flight simulation and unmanned aircraft systems, maintained Android kernel/framework for in-house devices, and developed camera interfacing and vision pipelines—skills that enable him to bridge low-level firmware and high-level AI-driven autonomy. Known for turning control theory into production systems, he often pairs MATLAB/Simulink prototyping with C/C++/embedded deployment, and has a history of teaching and authoring hands-on labs that demystify kernel and driver development.
