Cambridge, England, United Kingdom
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLiyou Zhou is a robotics software engineer with 9 years’ experience, currently working on autonomous driving at Wayve and previously leading Autoware contributions and ML inference optimisation at Arm. He specialises in porting and performance-tuning perception pipelines for Arm platforms, with deep expertise in embedded ML acceleration (NEON, GPU, NN accelerators) and safety/security for AV systems. Earlier in his career he architected secure, delta-capable firmware update systems and was the main developer of widely used open-source bootloader and update clients for constrained devices. Liyou blends low-level embedded systems experience—GPU drivers, deterministic memory footprints and asynchronous firmware processing—with higher-level autonomy stacks, making him effective across the full embedded-to-cloud vehicle stack. Based in Cambridge, he pairs academic training from Cambridge and a Udacity self-driving nanodegree with hands-on engineering that spans prototype research to production optimisations. A practical problem-solver, he often surfaces cross-domain efficiencies by applying IoT security and firmware design patterns to autonomous vehicle platforms.
