Hi, my name is
Sawyer Smith. I like to make things!
I'm a robotics engineer focused on front end and backend software, new coding tools, and human-centered technology experiences. I enjoy taking ideas from idea to launch with thoughtful design, modern front-end engineering, and clean user experiences.

I'm Sawyer Smith, a robotics engineer studying at the University of Michigan College of Engineering. I focus on building interactive systems that combine real-time software, robotics, and intuitive user experiences. I enjoy taking projects from concept to deployment, designing clean architectures, and creating products that feel fast, responsive, and thoughtfully engineered.
Experience
I've worked across robotics, automotive engineering, and software development. At Sanhua Automotive USA, I built LabVIEW control software for a LIN-based water pump testbench, supported warranty analysis, and collaborated with engineering and sales teams on thermal-management products. At Brose North America, I ran BLDC motor validation using DYNO systems, updated test procedures, and produced training materials to standardize internal workflows. At the University of Michigan, I've led and contributed to multi-person robotics and HRI projects, including real-time experimental systems, Python automation tools, and software–hardware integrations.
Work
Robotics experiments, embedded systems, data pipelines, and full-stack tools. A mix of personal projects and engineering work.
