Summary
Jérémie Bannwarth is a Lead Control Systems Engineer in Auckland with 11 years of experience designing and implementing stabilising controllers, autopilots, and sensor fusion for electric hydrofoiling ferries and aerospace platforms. He holds a PhD in Mechatronics focused on aerodynamic modelling and robust control of multirotor UAVs, and has moved those rigorous research skills into production: nonlinear simulation, multivariable control design, state estimation, and embedded hardware implementation. At Vessev he leads the full development lifecycle—from Python/MATLAB/Simulink modelling to CI-driven deployment on embedded PCs—while previously delivering probabilistic sensor fusion for helicopter and airplane flight data. His background tutoring advanced control and robotics courses and top academic results (First Class Honours, university dux at school) underline both technical depth and an ability to communicate complex concepts. Notably, he blends aerospace-grade estimation techniques with maritime nonlinear dynamics to tame the unique challenges of hydrofoiling craft.
