Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexandre Coulombe is an embedded systems developer and team lead with eight years of hands-on experience building industrial robotics hardware and firmware at Mecademic and leading multidisciplinary student robotics programs at McGill. He holds an M.Sc. focused on robotics research—motion planning, collision avoidance, and imitation learning—and combines that research depth with practical expertise in microcontrollers, FPGAs, C/C++, Python and robotics simulation. At Mecademic he progressed from intern to team lead, designing low-level control systems and coordinating hardware/software integration for precision robotic arms. He’s equally comfortable coding real-time firmware and managing cross-functional teams, having led rover and autonomy projects for international competitions. Colleagues describe him as resourceful and adaptable, with a rare blend of academic research rigor and production-grade embedded engineering.
