Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJakob Widauer is an embedded software engineer with 11 years of experience designing autonomy and communication systems for aerial robotics and related domains. He has led architecture and development of high-throughput web services for global elevation data, accelerated open-source data-processing libraries by an order of magnitude, and built Linux-based autonomy stacks, ground station GUIs and user-level drivers for drone communication. At Auterion and Aurora he combined hands-on development with team leadership, driving DevOps, static/dynamic analysis adoption and cross-continental collaboration on mission management for urban air mobility. Now based in Zurich and working at Sonova, he brings a robotics-focused MS from ETH Zürich and a practical systems mindset that favors measurable performance gains and production-ready integrations. An interesting thread through his work is translating research-grade autonomy concepts into scalable, testable software used in real vehicles and services.
