Summary
Pranay Eedara is a Director of Autonomous Systems R&D with 11 years of experience building navigation, localization and resilient wireless networks for multi‑drone systems. Based in College Station, he leads end-to-end development of Position, Navigation & Timing solutions, sensor-fusion and statistical estimation stacks, and real-time location sharing while bridging embedded flight controller and FPGA implementations. His background spans academic research in machine learning and Wi‑Fi metadata inference to hands-on engineering of mesh routing protocols, PX4/NuttX firmware, and custom Zynq-7020 designs. Known for turning research prototypes into field-tested systems, he combines MATLAB/C++ algorithm development with ROS/Gazebo validation and custom simulators to iterate quickly on real-world performance. An ability to blend statistical modeling, low-level firmware, and network protocol design gives him uncommon fluency across the full autonomy stack.
