Robert Crimmins

I’m a Staff R&D Engineer at nVent Data Solutions, where I help shape the roadmap and next generation of Smart Power and Cooling Distribution solutions for data centers. My focus includes expanding our AC and DC Power Distribution Unit (PDU) portfolio, integrating and testing emerging high-voltage DC architectures for AI and hyperscale infrastructure, and enhancing product intelligence across the nVent ecosystem.

My career has taken me across some of the most innovative industries in engineering. At Argo AI, I helped develop a purpose-built LiDAR platform for autonomous vehicles. At Raytheon Technologies, I designed shortwave-infrared sensors and camera systems for defense applications. During my studies at WPI, I had the opportunity to work at Tesla, where I integrated the power-distribution and communication architecture for the Cybertruck, and at SpaceX, where I developed and integrated avionics hardware for the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets. My wiring-system-architecture design work at Tesla was later patented by Tesla.

I earned my Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, along with dual Bachelor’s degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Robotics Engineering. This multidisciplinary foundation gives me hands-on expertise across hardware, firmware, software, mechanical, and electrical system design.
