Head Of Engineering at AICA SA
Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDominic Reber is Head of Engineering based in Lausanne with five years of hands-on experience building robotics software that blends state-of-the-art learning and control algorithms with industrial robustness. He has moved from research roles at EPFL to product- and customer-facing engineering at AICA, writing drivers, custom applications, and leading projects at the intersection of automation and human-robot collaboration. Dominic’s background combines an ETH Zurich MS in Mechanical Engineering with practical fieldwork—from surgical-robotics research to on-site deployments and trade-fair demos—so he comfortably bridges academic rigor and real-world constraints. He’s equally at home tuning control loops as he is shaping a young startup’s engineering processes, and his early work on active learning for image processing hints at a persistent interest in making advanced ML tools accessible in applied robotics.
