Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLucas Teixeira is a Zurich-based Staff Machine Learning Engineer and PhD in Computer Vision with over a decade of applied research and industry experience building real-time SLAM, 3D reconstruction, sensor fusion, and on-device deep learning systems. He has led and grown R&D teams, co-supervised PhD students at ETH Zurich, and transitioned research prototypes into real-world robotic and mixed-reality deployments. Lucas combines a strong academic pedigree with hands-on engineering across simulation, data-labeling pipelines, and embedded algorithms, having also co-founded a consultancy to help startups productize vision and graphics tech. Known for shipping production-grade distributed systems as well as novel research, he recently moved into staff engineering at Hexagon Robotics while consulting on visual language models and robotic automation. An unexpected thread through his career is long-term focus on practical 3D perception for robotics—from autonomous drones in his PhD to industrial on-device solutions today.
