Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFlorian Zimmermann is a Senior Software Engineer based in the Geneva area with 10 years of experience building high-performance graphics, simulation, and AI systems. He combines a strong academic foundation (BSc University of Geneva, MSc EPFL with a signals/images specialization) with hands-on engine work—designing and optimizing cross-platform 3D rendering systems in C++11 and modern OpenGL during roles at Cyberbotics and Pix4D. His background spans robotics simulation, room-scale VR, and multi-modal human-robot interaction research, reflecting an unusual blend of perceptual AI and low-level rendering optimization. Florian’s master’s and bachelor theses show a pattern of turning research into practical algorithms—from learning-to-rank models to multi-person interaction pipelines. At Pix4D he applies this mix to real-world photogrammetry and mapping challenges, focusing on performance, simulation fidelity, and scalable software design. He’s open to roles that surface interesting technical problems where graphics, optimization, and AI intersect.
