Senior Software Engineer at Overland AI
Seattle, Washington, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Fork is a Senior Software Engineer in Seattle with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from UC Berkeley and five years of hands-on experience building control and testing systems that bridge theory and production. His doctoral work produced a novel, generalizable framework for extending vehicle models to 3D road surfaces, moving geometric control theory into practical planning and control pipelines. He has applied that interdisciplinary mindset across roles from hardware test engineering for ML servers to R&D on medical sensors and advanced 3D printing materials. At Overland AI he focuses on shipping robust systems that integrate physics-based models with software engineering best practices. Known for reducing deep theoretical results to working prototypes, he brings both rigorous modeling and pragmatic implementation skills to problems that span sensors, controls, and hardware-in-the-loop testing. Colleagues describe him as a fast learner who enjoys tackling problems that require broad technical fluency and careful experimental validation.
