Top SchoolSeamus Johnston is a Staff Software Engineer specializing in controls and vehicle modeling with a decade of hands-on experience across autonomous ground and air systems. He leads a vehicle model team at Oxa after roles building safety-critical controllers and large-scale analysis tooling at Nuro and designing flight controls for eVTOLs at Wisk. His background spans simulation, system identification, real-time control, and software design in C/C++, Python, MATLAB/Simulink and ROS, with practical experience moving algorithms from sim to flight/test. A self-starter who co-founded an autonomous sailboat team and has led cross-disciplinary projects, he pairs strong engineering rigor with a musician’s discipline—he was principal double bassist in the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra.
