# Baixiao Huang > Senior Software Engineer in maneuver planning at Cruise Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/baixiao Experienced Software Engineer with a demonstrated history of working in the e-learning industry. Skilled in Java, C++, Full-stack web app, embedded software. Strong engineering professional with a Bachelor's degree focused in Computer Engineering from University of California, Los Angeles. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer, Maneuver Planning @ Cruise Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | United States ### Senior Robotic software engineer @ Volansi Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | Concord, California, United States Developed high fidelity simulation of the voly C50 aircraft in MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation includes both the VTOL flight and fixed wing flight. The simulation is further integrated in a software in the loop environment where the flight software is running with developed dynamics. Developed customized version of total energy controller in the Simulink. Modeled and developed ground effect of the aircraft to resolve landing issue. ### Senior Robotic Software Engineer @ Volansi Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | San Francisco Bay Area Developed and patented vertical delivery system. The system allows automatic handling of payload packages after aircraft drops the payload. Developed precision landing system for the abovementioned delivery system. Aircraft can land on the intended landing platform within 0.5 meter. ROS2 integration of companion computer with flight controller. This includes ROS2 messaging communications with flight controller. ### Robotic software engineer @ Volansi Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | Concord, California, United States Work on development of flight software of VTOL aircraft. Ship to ship delivery: Developed guidance algorithm and system for VTOL payload delivery from land to boat, from boat to boat, and from boat to land. The system allows aircraft to land on a moving boat in sea state 2. This system is demonstrated with US naval demonstration on USNS Burlington. Developed vision estimation of the moving landing target using extended kalman filter. Performed flight testing of the developed system in the field. Developed flight analysis tools and perform flight analysis after flight testing. ### Full-Stack Software Engineer @ IXL Learning Jan 2017 – Jan 2019 | Foster City I work on online education website for students from Kindergarden to 12 grade. The website allows students to learn and practice the questions meticulously designed by experience curriculum designer. I work on: Handful of random questions generation logic for Math, English & Language Art, Spanish using Java. Design and implement Front-end user facing interactive components using React. These are used by students on different PC browsers and mobile app and browsers. Design and implement new user facing administrator management web application using full-stack tools, and integrate with existing SQL data models. The tool is designed to accommodate around 100k students school district size administrator account. Implement pricing management internal tool using struts and Java. This manages how price is calculated based on different products customer subscribed. Upgrade the old email system to new email system. Implement infrastructure for question generations. ### Undergraduate Student Researcher @ UCLA Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Jan 2015 – Jan 2016 | UCLA Engineering 4 I am working on building new generation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. This project, led by Professor Yong Chen and funded by Air Force, is to design a new way to control UAVs without pre-programmed computer. The research group design and utilize integrated synaptic circuit that could process signal in parallel and do adaptive learning, to control the UAVs. I am responsible for bridging the interface between UAVs and circuit, and designing small neurologically inspired control system. ### Project Director @ 3D4E Foundation, Inc. Jan 2014 – Jan 2016 | UCLA 3D4E((3-D printing for everyone)) is an project-based engineering club at UCLA dedicated to build cool stuff like robot or RC vehicle with 3-D printing technology, and to let more people know and use 3-D printing. Avengineering also has cooperative relation with USC's 3D4E club. So two clubs promote 3-D printing in both schools by hosting 3-D printing related competition between UCLA and USC. My responsibilities: Planning out new project for new quarter. Giving hands-on workshop to our members. Solving technical difficulties Electrical Team encounters during development. Leading and supervising Electrical team to finish their jobs before project deadline. Researching electrical parts required for the project. ## Education ### Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical and Electronic Engineering UCLA Jan 2013 – Jan 2017 ### Shenzhen Senior High School Jan 2010 – Jan 2013 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/baixiaohuang - Website: http://www.baixiaohuang.me --- Source: https://flows.cv/baixiao JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/baixiao/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-22
