Summary
Nathan Baumli is a Lead Computer Vision Engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in robotics, AR/VR and event-based visual-inertial odometry. After an MSc in Mechanical Engineering from ETH Zürich and a formative research internship at ABB, he co-founded Insightness to commercialize novel silicon-eye sensor technology, building its software stack and leading delivery of two Evaluation Kits that culminated in acquisition by Sony Semiconductors. Now leading head-tracking and SLAM at Magic Leap, he blends hands-on algorithm prototyping with team building, CI/CD, and product delivery in hardware-constrained systems. Known for turning research into robust products, he also brings uncommon depth in math and system dynamics from teaching and academia, and a pragmatic appetite for learning from setbacks.
