# Jeff Hsu > Medical robot/powered exo/burger bot/autonomous cars! Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/jeffhsu Now: Build medical robots! Prev: Built hamburger machines, wearable exoskeletons, self-driving cars. https://code.mrhsu.education https://blog.mrhsu.education ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Intuitive Jan 2024 – Present | Sunnyvale, California, United States ### Robotics Software Engineer @ Creator Jan 2022 – Jan 2024 | San Francisco Bay Area • Lead software developer advancing across all stacks (ie. robot codebase, cloud deployment, remote-operation infrastructures, operator toolsets, production test-suites) to scale the automated gourmet burger robots (ie. 2-men kitchen) • Wrote custom modern C++ code with grpc and ros2 for distributed computing architecture. Responsible across the entire stack from low-level motor/sensor drivers to high-level finite-state machines (yakindu statechart) • Productionized with established projects such as ansible, influxdb, grafana, tailscale, jupyterhub/notebook, docker, and aws ### Robotics Engineer @ May Mobility Jan 2019 – Jan 2022 | Greater Detroit Area • Lead linux developer for 3 OEM vehicle platforms’ drive-by-wire software (Toyota Sienna, Lexus, and Ford Transit). Understood how different DBW architectures affect autonomy<>manual hand-over logics and worked with cross-functional teams (ie. embedded, autonomy, and safety) to ensure safety-critical transitions are always guaranteed • Became system-level expert with deep understandings of both OEM systems (DTC/Freeze Frame data diagnostic, CAN reverse engineering) and ADK knowledge (autonomy sensors, custom SOCs, networking, scripting, and software integrations) • Solely developed the first in-house real-time data visualization for the Polaris GEM vehicle platform (C and js) • Design, prototype, and wrote bare-metal C code for in-house ECUs (TMS570) and PCB boards (IMU dev kits) ### Graduate Robotics Researcher @ Georgia Institute of Technology Jan 2016 – Jan 2019 | Greater Atlanta Area • Designed, manufactured, and clinically validated two powered hip exoskeletons from end-to-end (full stack) to allow for novel research studies regarding machine learning algorithms and human machine interactions • Deployed first of its kind EMG pattern recognition (ML) controller using LabVIEW FPGA (NI myRIO’s Xilinx), which allows for volitional control of the exoskeleton by executing real-time intent recognition (16 channels each running at 1000Hz) • Structured and developed the entire system by leveraging expertise in mechanical, electro-mechanical, electrical, and embedded designs to ensure deterministic executions of high-speed sensor communications and actuator responses • Conducted clinical experiments which led to several peer-reviewed publications (IEEE RA-L, ASME) ### Energy-Recycling Stairs Researcher @ Georgia Institute of Technology Jan 2016 – Jan 2016 | Greater Atlanta Area ### Prototype Instructor @ Invention Studio at Georgia Tech Jan 2016 – Jan 2019 | Greater Atlanta Area • Expertized in all prototyping machines such as 3D printers, 5-axis waterjet, laser cutters, woodworking/metalworking tools ### Mechatronics Engineer Intern @ Ekso Bionics Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | San Francisco Bay Area • Designed a new mechatronic solution (C++) to give sensory logging capability to a pure mechanical exoskeleton arm (ZeroG) ## Education ### Master's in Mechanical Engineering (Thesis - Wearable Exoskeletons) Georgia Institute of Technology Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 ### Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology Jan 2012 – Jan 2017 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/hhsugt - Website: https://code.mrhsu.education - Website: https://blog.mrhsu.education --- Source: https://flows.cv/jeffhsu JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/jeffhsu/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-23
