Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Lichard is an R&D engineer based in Bussigny, Switzerland, with 17 years of hands-on experience developing real-time systems, robotics, and control software. He blends academic rigor from EPFL and HEIG-VD with practical expertise in EtherCAT, Linux realtime, CNC, and exoskeleton control, currently advancing autonomy and sensing at Flybotix. His background spans medical imaging and deep learning for neonatal MRI to designing plantar load cell integrations, showing a rare mix of firmware, mechatronics, and applied machine learning. Colleagues know him for turning research prototypes into reliable embedded systems and for being equally comfortable at the lathe or in the kernel. He tends to favor pragmatic architectures that anticipate deployment constraints, and often surfaces simple sensor-driven solutions where others reach for complexity.
