Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Laney is an electrical engineer and robotics specialist based in Pittsburgh with 10 years of experience building and bringing robotic systems from R&D to full-rate production. He designs high-speed power and system PCBs, develops embedded Linux applications in C, and integrates digital communication protocols (Ethernet, CAN, I2C, SPI, RS-232) across tightly coupled mech-software-electrical teams. At Carnegie Robotics he moved from test-fixture and Python framework development into system-level electrical design, and he now applies that product-cycle expertise at Meta. He holds an MEng in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Cornell and a BS in Physics, and is comfortable rapidly prototyping to collect real-world data and iterate designs. Colleagues rely on his organization, reliability, and ability to execute with minimal oversight—skills honed by deploying custom PCBs on live research platforms and navigating manufacturing and ISO-quality processes.
