Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSiobhan Duncan is a Director of Software and robotics engineer with 10 years’ experience building embedded systems and field robotics solutions, now leading software at Launchpad.build. Her PhD in swarm robotics from Heriot-Watt and time at the Edinburgh Centre for Robotics underpin a research-driven approach to biologically inspired self-organisation and artificial stigmergy for multi-robot systems. She has shipped products as lead developer at an EdTech robotics startup and later translated that hands-on delivery into consulting and senior engineering roles at PA Consulting. Comfortable across low-level C/C++, Python and JavaScript, she bridges hardware, firmware and full-stack software to move research concepts into robust field deployments. Colleagues describe her as adaptable and fast-learning—able to pick up new languages and frameworks quickly—and unusually, she pairs technical leadership with a background in jazz performance, bringing improvisational creativity to engineering trade-offs. Based in Edinburgh, she focuses on practical impact in field robotics and scalable team delivery.
