Senior🎓
Top SchoolMaximum Wilder-smith is a robotics and AI researcher-engineer with a decade of experience building systems for VR, satellites, drones, rovers and other autonomous platforms. Currently a PhD student at ETH Zürich and researcher in the Robotic Systems Lab, he blends machine learning research with practical systems work in orbit and beyond. He has held hybrid roles spanning research engineering, AI leadership at a space startup, and applied software engineering on robotics and VR products, showing an ability to move ideas from lab to flight-ready code. His background combines an ETH master’s in Robotics, Systems and Control with a BS in Computer Science and hands-on internships that emphasize productionizing perception and control. Notably, he pairs academic rigor with product-focused delivery—often working at the intersection of ML, control theory and embedded systems. Based in Zurich, he brings both experimental research chops and multi-domain engineering experience to long-horizon autonomy challenges.
