Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGuilherme Ribeiro is a mechatronics and robotics software engineer with 11+ years blending research-grade controls, system identification, and computer vision into real-world products ranging from robotic prostheses to autonomous vehicle systems. He holds a PhD-level background and a track record of shipping perception and control solutions—ROS/C++ prosthesis controllers, TOF-based terrain detection, YOLOv8/ EfficientNet vision models, and sub-50 ms industrial inference pipelines. Guilherme has driven standards and automation in test labs (ISO/IEC 17025, EMC/EMI test automation) and led cross-disciplinary teams to deliver safety-critical mechatronic systems under tight budgets and timelines. Equally comfortable soldering sensors and wiring motor drivers as he is training deep networks, he combines hands-on hardware builds (3D-printed Alexa-controlled blinds module) with production-oriented software engineering. Based in Los Angeles, he is actively transitioning from academic research to product-focused robotics roles and maintains an experimental portfolio and GitHub presence that demonstrate practical AI+mechatronics integrations.
