Robotics Integration Engineer · Tesla

Linhao Bai

I work on Overmind, Tesla's scheduling and orchestration system for factory robotics.

My work sits between robot software and factory operations: integrating systems, leading deployments, diagnosing production issues, and improving the reliability of automation in real facilities.

Previously, I led North America technical execution at Wellwit Robotics for warehouse AMR and AGV projects. I received my M.S. in Computer Science from Georgia Tech in 2026, where I worked on robot learning and dexterous manipulation in the STAR Lab.

Earlier at SEER Robotics, I moved from robot-controller software development into international robotics project management, supporting deployments and customers across global markets.

What I work on

Production robotics integration

Connect robot behavior, fleet software, infrastructure, and factory workflows into systems that can be deployed and supported at scale.

Scheduling and orchestration

Work across task scheduling, fleet coordination, service boundaries, and operational constraints in material-flow automation.

Reliability and technical ownership

Use logs, metrics, root-cause analysis, automation, and clear cross-functional communication to turn recurring issues into durable improvements.
