Summary
Guillaume Lainé is a Senior Software Engineer based in Zurich with seven years of experience building perception and navigation systems for robotics and autonomous vehicles. With a Master's in Informatics from TUM and a background spanning École Polytechnique and a University of Toronto exchange, he blends strong academic foundations with hands-on product work at Auterion and startups like Angsa Robotics. His work ranges from image segmentation and visual odometry to optimization-based topology improvement for AGV navigation graphs, and he has repeatedly delivered production-ready features, CI-driven workflows, and real-world robot tests. Notably, his master thesis produced a numerically optimized approach to enhance navigation graphs—an example of applying research-grade methods to industrial autonomy problems. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic, curious, and comfortable moving between low-level sensor fusion and system-level software engineering.
