Micah Oevermann, PhD

A roboticist with 4 years of experience across every layer of a modern robotic system.

From autonomous semi-trucks and robot arms to unique mechatronic systems, I bring a strong blend of mechanical design, software intuition, and rigorous field testing experience to any team.

Throughout my time with the RAD Lab, I’ve helped build an environment where ideas move quickly from whiteboard discussions to tested prototypes. I’ve learned that the best engineering outcomes come from listening carefully, communicating clearly, and giving teammates the autonomy and support they need to do their best work.

I am no stranger to disruptive research, whether that means challenging assumptions in existing system designs, building new modeling and simulation tools from the ground up, or validating new systems through robust experimentation.

I’m motivated by challenges that don’t have clean solutions yet, and I’m excited to bring the rigor of my academic and professional training to new problems outside of the RAD Lab. I’m looking for teams willing to do the hard, collaborative work required to build robots that truly push the state of the art.

If you or someone you know is looking for a roboticist like me, let’s get in touch!
