Summary
Justin Xiao is a senior electrical engineer based in San Francisco with 11 years of experience taking hardware from whiteboard to production, currently designing products at Samsara. He blends rigorous academic training from MIT (BSc and M.Eng) with hands-on experience across sensor design, control systems, and power-stage circuitry from roles at Apple, Keysight, Lutron, and research stints at CERN and MIT. Justin’s strengths include simulating and characterizing sensors, implementing automated bias-control algorithms, and building prototype circuits that bridge lab experiments to manufacturable hardware. He has a track record of shipping practical solutions—automated test procedures and customer-tailored tools—while maintaining a research-minded approach to complex problems. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic and detail-oriented, able to translate experimental insight into robust product features.
