Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Kordell is a software engineer with 12 years of experience specializing in robotics and embedded systems, currently applying machine learning to optimize Amazon Robotics workcells in fulfillment centers. He previously accelerated on-device ML and developed perception-driven robot behaviors at iRobot, progressing from embedded engineer to principal software engineer. His background blends hands-on robotics research from WPI—where he built continuum manipulators, autonomous mapping systems, and custom robotic demos—with productionizing ML on ARM processors. Comfortable across firmware, perception, and system integration, he brings practical cross-domain expertise that shortens the path from research prototypes to deployed automation. Based in Worcester, MA, he pairs an academic foundation in Robotics Engineering with industrial-scale impact in warehouse and consumer robotics. An understated strength is his track record of turning experimental robot projects into robust software components used in real products.
