Liam Jennings

Software & Robotics Engineer

Hello

I’m a software and robotics engineer based in Seattle, currently pursuing my Master’s in Robotics Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I completed my B.S. in Computer Science there in 2025.

My work focuses on embedded systems, real-time controls, and hardware validation. I have hands-on experience with STM32 firmware development, CAN bus communication, and hardware-in-the-loop testing. Most recently, I worked as a Hardware Test Engineer at Symbotic, where I designed test fixtures and built automated tooling for embedded system validation.

I’m motivated by the pride of making something well. Engineering is an art to me. I constantly see systems that were never quite finished, awkward to use, and painful to maintain. I want to do better. Making the world around me a little smoother, a little more reliable, a little more considerate of the people who have to live with it—that makes me genuinely happy.

That said, craftsmanship takes time, and most problems don’t need it. Knowing where it should be applied is usually more important than the craftsmanship itself. Getting something real and tangible across the finish line is equally motivating: there’s satisfaction in seeing something ship, and something lost when it doesn’t.

I’ve learned to balance the two.
