Summary
Virgile Högman is a Computer Vision R&D Engineer based in Stockholm with 15 years of experience applying robotics, machine learning and real-time perception to safety-critical systems. He currently develops embedded 2D/3D perception and dynamic camera calibration for autonomous driving (Volvo and Polestar) and builds large-scale simulation pipelines to validate perception at scale. His background blends academic rigor as a long-running PhD candidate at KTH with hands-on system engineering from satellite ground-segment operations to leading software teams, giving him deep experience in reliability, real-time constraints and international collaboration. Comfortable across C++ and research prototypes, he brings a practical focus on bringing vision research into production-grade, safety-conscious deployments—an arc that began coding on a 1kB Sinclair ZX81 and now spans commercial autonomy.
