Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYuying Qian is a software engineer with eight years of experience building perception, planning, and flight software for robotics and immersive systems, currently a Member of Technical Staff in Seattle. She has deep hands-on experience from research-driven roles at CMU and NUS to product internships and engineering positions at Uber ATG, DJI, Apple, and Meta, spanning motion planning, active learning, video understanding, and ML for VR. A strong C/C++ and Python developer, she architected on-board software for a lunar CubeRover project and led drone research that produced a MICAV publication as first author. Her background blends academic rigor (MS/BS ECE, CMU) with applied autonomy work shipping prototype and production systems, from lightweight space-grade rovers to photorealistic VR. Internationally raised and trained across China, Singapore, and the U.S., she brings cross-cultural collaboration and leadership experience from student project leads to industry teams. Less obvious: she pairs low-level embedded and real-time systems expertise with modern ML workflows, enabling end-to-end solutions from sensor firmware to learned models.
