Senior🎓
Top SchoolZachary Brock is a Senior Software Engineer and robotics specialist with eight years of experience designing path planning, behavior, and control algorithms for autonomous vehicles. At Torc Robotics he is the subject matter expert on convex optimization bounds and developed a novel largest-bounding-rectangle algorithm plus trajectory search optimizations that cut planning cycle time by 96%. His background blends academic rigor from an MS in Robotics with hands-on validation work in automotive environments at Daimler Trucks, where he refactored simulation toolchains and delivered real-time state estimators. He frequently drives literature reviews and architecture decisions, mentors teammates through detailed PR feedback, and has a track record of turning research ideas into production-grade, safety-critical features. Based in Salt Lake City, he pairs deep dynamics modeling and optimization expertise with practical test-and-validate experience across hardware-in-the-loop and road-ready systems.
