Long Beach, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTerry Wells is a Staff Autonomy Software Engineer based in Long Beach with deep systems-level expertise in C, C++, Java, and Python and over three decades of hands-on development and leadership experience. He has led engineering teams since 2014, transforming groups to Agile practices and improving delivery cadence while also contributing individual technical impact—such as dramatic startup performance improvements and data-corruption repair features earlier in his career. Currently focused on autonomy at Northrop Grumman, he blends architecture and design chops with practical implementation experience from robotics and embedded image-processing systems to large-scale enterprise products. A long-time FIRST mentor and volunteer, he brings rare domain continuity mentoring students since 2005, which informs his people-first leadership and practical coaching approach. Equally comfortable diving into SLAM API decoupling or improving developer experience, Terry favors pragmatic, measurable engineering improvements that scale across teams.
