Chad Schneider PE
CEO at Root3 Labs
I grew up in Maryland and was educated locally, with a BS in mechanical engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park and a Master’s of Science in Engineering (M.S.E.) focused on Haptics and Medical Robotics from the Johns Hopkins University. I founded Root3 Labs after having worked in the medical device and engineering consulting industries for almost 15 years.
At home and at work, I enjoy digging into challenging technical problems, whether that means designing a microfluidic pump from scratch or breathing new life into a neglected bicycle (or computer, or motorcycle). I love that I can show my three sons that they can create, too, helping them build an off-road go kart, a Minecraft server, or their own quadcopter. I'm a Professional Engineer (licensed in Maryland), a Certified Solidworks Professional (CSWP), and a licensed commercial sUAV pilot.
