Summary
Roger Mei is an iOS robotic software engineer with 9 years of experience specializing in motion planning and ADAS/AD systems, currently at Apple after leading motion planning architecture at Faraday Future. He designed and shipped auto-parking and highway autopilot features end-to-end, authored two motion-planning patents, and built hybrid planner algorithms and planner state machines in C++/ROS2. Comfortable across full-stack domain needs, he has implemented visualization tools, SLAM modules, and automated testing pipelines to bridge research and production. His background spans mechanical and computer science training from top institutions and hands-on robotics research on quadrotors, where he developed wind estimators and safety‑aware online learning controllers. A team-oriented mentor, he pairs pragmatic coding with product ownership and a long-term belief in autonomy’s potential.
