Software Engineer at Infinity Constellation
Pensacola, Florida, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Lensgraf is a software engineer and robotics researcher with 11 years of experience blending zero-to-one product development and rigorous CS research to build autonomous systems and production backends. He earned a PhD focused on underwater robotics at Dartmouth, where he designed, built, and field-tested Droplet—the first free-floating AUV to autonomously construct underwater structures—and developed the ROS-based infrastructure and FSM tooling that made rapid iteration possible. Prior roles at Bellhops and startups drove automation of complex marketplace matching and incentive systems, plus hands-on SRE, frontend, and deployment work that bridged product and ops. Samuel’s background spans algorithmic research in additive manufacturing (ICRA best paper) to applied engineering at IHMC and Infinity Constellation, demonstrating an unusual comfort moving from control-level PID tuning and compliant manipulators to multi-objective optimization and backend orchestration. Based in Pensacola, he combines deep academic rigor with pragmatic shipping experience, often designing hardware-aware software that tolerates minimal sensing and noisy field conditions.
