About
Hi, I’m Walter Teitelbaum, but I go by Walt. I’m an automation and mechatronics engineer in Seattle, WA. My work spans robotics, motion control, Python software, and manufacturing test systems.
I enjoy building useful things, learning from the people around me, and helping teams do good work together. I grew up in the East Bay.
This site is a small home for projects, notes, and the occasional write-up. You can read my resume, download a print version, or browse my posts if you’d like to see what I’ve been working on.
October 2026
- Testing a Thermal Fluid Loop with Simulation and Embedded Control. A Python simulation, a shared C controller, and a browser tool for exploring how a fluid loop responds to faults.
- RFQFuzz: Regression Tests for Drawing Reviewers. Compare reviewer behavior on controlled CAD and drawing packages, with evidence for each changed finding.
- FixtureForge: Checking Tool Access in CAD. Inspect whether a simplified tool can follow a declared path through a fixture or small assembly.
- DriverForge: Testing Instrument Drivers Without Hardware. A small Python tool for replaying protocol faults and inspecting how an instrument driver responds.
- AbyssBench: Checking Controller Timing. Replay controller events and check whether the recorded response satisfies an explicit timing contract.
