Eric Aguilar
Eric Aguilar is co-founder and CEO of Omnitron Sensors. An award-winning entrepreneur, Eric is a recognized leader in Silicon Valley in the field of innovative sensor systems, particularly in relation to robotics and autonomous platforms.
Eric began his professional career at U.S. Navy Research Labs, where he built sensors that were fundamental to unlocking autonomous flight and other advanced capabilities in drones. He then joined a startup company that licensed Navy IP to build a revolutionary sensor that captured the attention of Google, which later acquired the company for U.S.$85M.
Eric then transitioned to developing autonomous systems. As an avionics lead at Google X Project Wing, his work enabled autonomous flight for the Project’s commercial delivery drones. After moving to Tesla—where he led a team of 300 engineers—he focused on the firmware integration efforts for Model 3, allowing for autopilot and high-volume production. Just prior to Omnitron, Eric led the sensor integration efforts for a fleet of robo-taxis at Argo AI, a self-driving company funded by Ford and VW. He is a former board member of Ascent Robotics.
Eric holds an engineering degree from California State Polytechnic University.

Abstract coming soon…
Omnitron Sensors
Omnitron Sensors is rewriting the script on building high-performance low-cost sensors for the world of tomorrow. Leveraging its executive team’s extensive experience designing, fabricating, and using MEMS sensors, Omnitron has developed a “new topology for MEMS” that addresses some of the most pressing pain points in MEMS manufacturing.
Featuring the clever arrangement of silicon process steps and a new packaging method, Omnitron’s topology significantly improves performance to produce robust, rugged, reliable, repeatable, and low-cost MEMS sensors in high volumes by leveraging commercial MEMS foundries.
The company’s first proof point of its new topology for MEMS is a large, robust, low-cost, MEMS scanning mirror for long-range LiDAR.

Michelle M. Bourke received a B.Sc. degree in Optoelectronics and Laser Engineering from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland, U.K., in 1993. Subsequently she joined the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA), where she worked on advanced processing methods for GaAs/AlGaAs optoelectronic devices. In 1997 Michelle moved to the semiconductor capital equipment industry as an etch process engineer. In 1999 she moved into Product Marketing where she has continued to develop her career. Today Michelle is with Lam Research Corporation as the Senior Strategic Marketing Director in the Customer Support Business Group.
Dr. Mary Ann Maher received her Ph.D. from Caltech in 1989 in the area of semiconductor device modeling. At Tanner Research she began the simulation and modeling group and launched Tanner’s T-Spice analog circuit simulator product. As Director of Advanced Products, she brought to market Tanner’s MEMS Pro microsystem and MCM Pro multi-chip module and packaging design tool. Moving to MEMSCAP, she became the company’s CTO and the General Manager and Executive Vice President of the Design Automation Business Unit. In 2004, she started SoftMEMS, LLC, the maker of the popular microsystems design tools – MEMS Pro and MEMS Xplorer, where she serves as CEO.
