Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVarun Singh is a robotics software engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building autonomy stacks for on- and off-road vehicles, currently working on localization, perception, planning, controls, and HW/SW integration at Waymo. He has a strong C++ and systems background from engineering roles at Applied Intuition and Bobcat, where he designed localization and mapping modules, state estimators (EKF/UKF/IMM), and custom radar-based occupancy grids that ran on constrained hardware. Varun pairs rigorous mathematical training from Harvey Mudd with practical skills in sensor integration, time-synchronized networks, CI/CD, and driver development for IMUs, lidars, radars, and cameras. He has a track record of shipping production code, leading hardware-software testing, onboarding engineers, and even filing a patent for skid-steer autonomy. A former competitive robotics and math medalist and US Presidential Scholar, he brings a rare blend of systems-level thinking, low-level embedded optimization, and customer-facing collaboration.
