Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Charreyron is a Staff Software Engineer with 14 years of experience building high-performance software for robotics and machine learning hardware, currently designing compilers and toolchains for Axelera AI’s edge ML accelerators. He combines deep academic training (PhD and MSc from ETH Zurich, BEng from McGill) with hands-on product engineering from a surgical-robotics startup where he led software, usability and quality efforts under medical device standards. His background spans ROS-based robotics toolchains, point-cloud ICP libraries and production ML compiler work (Apache TVM), reflecting a rare blend of low-level systems, DevOps and ML deployment expertise. Samuel has contributed to well-regarded open-source robotics projects such as libpointmatcher and ethzasl_icp_mapping, often focusing on infrastructure, release management and robustness. Based in Zurich, he brings both research-grade rigor and startup pragmatism to complex cross-disciplinary problems like mapping, minimally invasive robotics and accelerator-aware model optimization.
