About Brandon Lopez

I’m a mechanical engineering BS/MS student at UC San Diego passionate about building real-world solutions at the intersection of hardware and software. My experience spans autonomous systems, RF design, and rapid prototyping, with a strong focus on robotics and automation. Through Triton AI, I contribute to self-driving and autonomous maritime projects (evGrandPrix, RoboBoat, RobotX), applying skills in mechanical design, computer vision (YOLOv8 + Roboflow), and systems integration. At NIWCP, I engineered deployable RF test systems and applied FEA to support real-world defense applications. I also serve as an instructional assistant and SHPE board member, supporting technical workshops and student mentorship. I\'m eager to contribute to innovative teams solving tough engineering challenges—especially in robotics, automation, or product development. Let’s connect.
