Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMaximilian Schommer is a mechatronics engineer and startup leader with a decade of experience building the software-hardware interface for intelligent machines, currently co-founding and leading robotics at Trilobio in San Francisco. He designs end-to-end robotic systems—from electrical and mechanical hardware to high-performance path-planning and mesh processing software—and previously developed dual 7-axis arm planning and a 10x-faster 3D mesh slicer at Machina Labs. His background includes hands-on automation work at Relativity Space, leading ThinSat research at NASA, and shipping customer-facing CAD features at Onshape, showing a rare blend of product-facing software and deep physical systems expertise. Known for optimizing performance-critical tooling (e.g., NumPy/Numba-accelerated processors) and eliminating process constraints like overhang limits in sheet-metal forming, he thrives on turning complex mechanical problems into automated, scalable solutions.
