Summary
Andrew Seddon is a founder and CEO with 15 years of experience building robotics and deep learning systems to automate electronics manufacturing, currently scaling CircuitHub—the first automated electronics factory—to accelerate prototyping for customers from satellites to self-driving cars. He combines founder-level product vision and fundraising success (including $20M from Y Combinator and GV) with deep technical roots in embedded systems, computer vision, and signal processing from prior roles at Oxford Metrics, activeRF, and his Cambridge Signal Processing startup. Known for turning research-grade algorithms into robust industrial hardware (he designed facial motion capture systems used on major film productions), he operates at the intersection of hardware, firmware, and cloud-native manufacturing software. Based in London, he brings a rare blend of hands-on engineering, operational scaling, and applied ML/robotics experience to shorten hardware development cycles.
