Drone Software Engineer at Meteomatics
Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLoïc Niederhauser is a drone software and robotics engineer with eight years of experience building control, perception and ML-driven systems from embedded devices to ROS/ROS2 robots. Based in Lausanne, he has supported PhD research at EPFL’s LASA lab, authored a Robotics and Automation Letters paper, and now applies that research-to-product mindset at Meteomatics. His hands-on background spans C++, Python, MATLAB, Docker, Yocto and Jetson/ROS2 deployments, with practical improvements to graph-based SLAM, high-resolution camera pipelines and exoskeleton control. Equally comfortable in research and field deployments, he focuses on turning algorithms into reproducible, deployable experiments and robust embedded solutions. Outside work he pursues mountaineering, a pastime that mirrors his taste for precision, risk management and relentless problem-solving. Notably, he combines academic rigor with a maker’s instinct to “mess around” with ML and robotics until systems work in the real world.
