Summary
Steven Carr is a software engineer and PhD-trained researcher specializing in the intersection of control, planning, and machine learning for autonomous systems, with eight years of applied experience across academia, defense, and industry. He has validated theory on hardware and high-fidelity simulators, collaborated with NASA, DARPA and Five Eyes partners, and recently moved from robotics and AI research roles into systems work at Anduril. His background spans multi-agent planning, Bayesian-informed data analysis, and provably convergent UAV coordination algorithms—skills he’s applied from prototype flight tests to production-grade autonomy. Based in Greater Boston, he combines deep technical rigor with a practical track record of shipping validated autonomy solutions and is focused on applying emerging AI to ensure safe, correct decisions in real-world autonomous systems.
