Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRiley Chapman is a Staff System Integration Engineer with 12 years of experience building and integrating hardware-software systems for autonomous vehicles across Rivian, Volkswagen Group Technologies, Cruise, and General Motors. Trained in robotics at Olin College, Riley combines hands-on embedded software skills with systems-level integration expertise, shipping production compute stacks and vehicle integrations in fast-moving AV programs. He started tinkering in the Adirondacks—converting diesels to vegetable oil and retrofitting RC cars with Arduino sensors—which shaped a practical, maker-driven approach to complex engineering problems. Riley excels at bridging cross-functional teams to turn experimental prototypes into reliable deployed systems and has progressed rapidly into senior technical leadership roles. Based in San Francisco, he brings a mix of field-born resourcefulness and disciplined engineering processes to scale autonomous systems. Colleagues know him for digging into low-level hardware issues as readily as coordinating large software-hardware integration efforts.
