Profile: https://flows.cv/pareshsoni

I am a robotics engineer with hands-on experience building, deploying, and operating real-world robotic systems across behavior planning, motion planning, and control. My work spans system integration, deployment, reliability, and architecture improvements, with a strong focus on translating algorithms into robust, production-ready robotics solutions.

Surprisingly good at Paintball!

## Work Experience
### Product Operations Engineer @ UnitX
Jan 2023 – Present | Santa Clara, California, United States
Led end-to-end deployment of industrial automation solutions by developing production-ready software, communication interfaces, and simulation-based validation workflows, bridging R&D prototypes to customer manufacturing environments. 

Designed and integrated custom Python- and PLC-based (Beckhoff, Allen-Bradley) solutions to incorporate third-party hardware, advance proof-of-concept systems, and collaborate cross-functionally to deliver scalable, high-quality factory automation.

### Robotics Engineer @ Dexterity, Inc.
Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | Redwood City, California, United States
Led development and integration of critical robotic subsystems in production environments, working across software, systems architecture, and operations to address performance and reliability constraints. Partnered on architecture enhancements, including stateless system design, reducing system throughput time by ~21% and cutting system downtime by ~90% per month.

### Associate Robotics Engineer @ Dexterity, Inc.
Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | Redwood City, California, United States
Supported deployment and integration of robotic systems at customer sites, ensuring reliable bring-up and handoff. Built internal tooling for system testing and reliability, and delivered customer-facing demos and technical support.

### Product Operations Engineer @ Dexterity, Inc.
Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Redwood City, California, United States
Owned QA, automation, and provided software support for next-generation robotic systems. Built automated test pipelines, reducing testing downtime by 80% and improving system reliability and handoff.

### Machine Learning Engineer - Grasping Lab @ Oregon State University
Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Corvallis, Oregon, United States
Worked on real-world robotic manipulation systems, translating simulation-based learning into deployment on a 7-DOF robotic arm using ROS. Developed and evaluated learning-driven grasping strategies and system-level performance boundaries to improve grasp reliability in physical environments.

### Robotics Engineer @ Drishti Works
Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Led development of autonomous robotic prototypes across marine and agricultural environments, working at the intersection of robotics software, mechanical systems, and real-world testing. Owned critical subsystems and system-level integration using ROS, simulation-driven design, and rapid prototyping workflows from concept through field deployment.
