Thomas Ziegler is a Computer Vision Engineer based in Zurich with a decade of experience building SLAM, SfM and sensor-fusion solutions for surveying and robotic applications. Currently at Hexagon Technology Center, he develops positioning algorithms that bridge research-grade state estimation with real-world surveying devices. His background includes research on collaborative SLAM at ETH Zurich and a master’s in Electrical Engineering focused on computer vision, robotics and machine learning, complemented by practical systems work from internships at Volvo and roles in system integration and DevOps. He combines academic rigor with hands-on production experience—setting up CI pipelines, maintaining heterogeneous server environments, and prototyping end-to-end systems. Notably, he has moved between lab research and field-oriented product engineering, which gives him a pragmatic edge in turning advanced perception methods into robust commercial features.
