Senior🎓
Top SchoolUgurcan Cakal is an embedded software engineer in Zurich with eight years of experience working at the intersection of hardware, firmware, and machine learning. He has driven sensor-focused projects from characterization of TOF imagers and MIPI D-PHY compliance to low-level hardware debugging, and previously built neuromorphic chip simulation and real-time on-chip ML pipelines. At SynSense he accelerated development cycles—cutting delivery timelines from years to months—and was the top contributor to the Rockpool open-source package used for neuromorphic ML. His background blends a strong academic foundation in electrical and electronics engineering (MSc, 3.79/4.0) with hands-on skill deploying ML on constrained hardware and automating pre-silicon verification. Colleagues rely on him to bridge system-level requirements and silicon realities, turning complex sensor data problems into deployable solutions.
