Summary
Ewan Thompson is a Control Systems Engineer with nine years' experience bridging embedded software, robotics, and industrial automation, currently working at Paradigm Engineers and freelancing. He holds a B.Eng(Hons) in Mechatronics/Robotics and has delivered autonomy and embedded solutions at scale for organisations from startups to publicly traded firms, including Fortescue. Pragmatic and safety-minded, Ewan champions the Swiss Cheese model when designing systems that move in 3D space and brings strong systems thinking to complex, multidisciplinary problems. Social and extroverted, he excels at teamwork, lifting morale while rapidly distilling functional solutions under time pressure and diving deep when the problem demands it. Intellectually curious since childhood, he pairs hands-on electronics and prototyping instincts with a disciplined software engineering background and a taste for edge-AI and autonomy experimentation.
