Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSwapneel Naphade is a Robotics Systems Engineer with 10 years of experience building and integrating control, estimation, and perception software for aerial and automotive platforms, now applying quality and process engineering to boost customer satisfaction at a San Francisco robotics company. He combines hands-on embedded C/C++ and Python development with model-based systems engineering (OOSEM, SysML), IV&V, and cost/tradeoff analysis to deliver robust autonomous systems. Swapneel led TurboTerps to 2nd place at IROS ADR 2019 by developing a lightweight VIO and nonlinear MPC for aggressive drone racing, and previously guided a 25-person Formula SAE team through design, manufacture, and testing. He is fluent with ROS, OpenCV, PCL, Eigen and sensor-fusion techniques (EKF, Kalman, LQR, MPC), and brings a rare mix of control-theory rigor and practical vehicle dynamics experience. Expect him to bridge requirements, verification, and low-level control to turn cutting-edge research into deployable autonomy.
