Guillaume Binet Email & Phone Number

Founded Copper Robotics. We are building a Rust First robot engine to empower creators.The open source core of the product is available at https://github.com/copper-project/copper-rs .

In my role as Chief Technology Officer, I spearheaded the development of a comprehensive career ladder and optimized the annual performance review process to enhance employee growth and satisfaction. I led a strategic overhaul of the Software Engineering (SWE) and Electrical Engineering (EE) teams, realigning them to foster innovation and efficiency. My leadership was instrumental in redirecting the company’s focus towards autonomy, laying the foundational infrastructure required for autonomous operations. Successfully delivered the V3 program, alongside achieving significant milestones in various defense contracts, marking critical advancements in our technological capabilities.

Lead 7 autonomous vehicle onboard teams.Defined and brought up our new compute platform you can see on the road driving autonomously today in our fleet and working on the next generation.Created and staffing 4 new teams. Hired world class talents and kept them at a very low attrition rate. Interfaces with stakeholders: all the autonomy teams, the hardware team and Argo's leadership. Provide support to the business team for technical due diligences and strategic decisions on partnerships.1. Onboard Libraries (ex-Robotics infra below): this team specializes in efficient onboard libraries that are used across all the autonomy teams (ML inference, spatio-temporal indexed structures, CV etc...).2. Onboard Accelerators: this team is responsible for algorithms running on accelerated compute architectures.3. Onboard Code Health: this team is responsible for the tooling and metrics for the code quality of the AV.4. Onboard Runtime: this team works on everything middleware across the heterogeneous system (logger, messages, tasks)5. CAVS: Our redundant safety system6. Platforms: Everything safety critical OS & HW interfacing.7. [One last team I can't tell you much about yet.]
