Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Pech is a Senior Robotics Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building autonomous systems for harsh, real-world environments—from commercial construction excavators to lunar and martian rovers. He led computer vision and perception efforts at Built Robotics, delivering safety-critical pedestrian detection, camera-LIDAR fusion, robust terrain mapping and traversability analysis that kept fleets working in dust, fog, rain, and low-bandwidth conditions. Now at Astrolab he’s applying that field-proven autonomy to planetary surface development, combining practical sensor integration and deep learning experience from both industry and academic robotics research. His background spans full-stack robotics software (C++, ROS, real-time systems) and hands-on system design, and he’s advised lunar mining prototype efforts — a signal of his interest in space-focused applied robotics beyond traditional terrestrial applications.
