Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Chapin is a senior technology and product leader with 12+ years focused on sensor systems, flexible robotics, and immersive 3D interfaces, currently leading sensor development for Johnson & Johnson MedTech’s Monarch robotic bronchoscopy platform. He blends systems engineering, hands-on firmware and software development (C/C++, MATLAB, embedded/real-time platforms) and multidisciplinary product realization to move research-grade sensing and perception technologies into regulated medical devices. A serial founder and inventor, he commercialized 3D audio and spatial perception systems, sold core tech to Sennheiser, and has repeatedly led cross-functional teams from concept through manufacturing and sales support. Known for bridging hardware and software, William pairs futuristic, user-centered thinking with practical DFM, supply chain and cost-optimization skills. An unexpected thread across his career is deep psychoacoustics and perceptual research expertise, which informs his approach to human-centered sensor-display system design.
