Summary
Saral Tayal is a software integration engineer with nine years of experience building full-stack robotic systems at the intersection of mechanical, electrical, and software engineering across companies like Tesla, Apple, Zoox, and Atomic Semi. He specializes in embedded systems, systems integration, and robotics algorithms, having led cross-team firmware efforts (e.g., cold-weather mobile-access and headlight calibration at Tesla) and developed tooling for silicon bring-up at Apple. His research at Carnegie Mellon produced open-source PCB reaction wheels and a modular BLDC motor controller, reflecting a hands-on approach to hardware-software co-design. A founder and educator who built a global online robotics school with 4,100+ students and widely viewed electronics content, he blends product delivery with community impact. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area and pursuing advanced ECE studies at Carnegie Mellon, Saral is comfortable moving from low-level firmware to fleet-scale data analysis to accelerate real-world robotic systems.
