# Timothée Flichy > Software Engineer at Intrinsic, an AI Robotics group at Google Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/timothe With over a decade of experience, I specialize in full-stack perception for edge computing and robotics. I design end-to-end vision pipelines — from frontend views and WebRTC transport to backend services and driver code — systematically improving throughput and reducing latency. I have extensive experience architecting edge-deployed systems that integrate and process diverse sensor data — including multi-camera arrays, LiDAR, GPS, IMU, etc. — to generate real-time, actionable business insights. Throughout my career, I have led multi-disciplinary efforts, bridging the gap between hardware engineering, software development, design, and C-suite executives to develop deep tech products. I am a generalist at heart with a flexible skillset and a passion for software architecture. I constantly push to learn and grow, and presently my attention is on Systems Engineering, Robotics, and DL/RL research. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ Intrinsic Jan 2022 – Present | Mountain View, CA Intrinsic is unlocking the creative and economic potential of industrial robotics for millions more businesses, entrepreneurs, and developers. Engineered full-stack Perception solutions for the Intrinsic Flowstate platform, spanning from frontend camera views and WebRTC transport to backend camera services and device drivers. Systematically optimized the perception stack, successfully improving data throughput and reducing latency across the system. Intrinsic joined Google in February, 2026.

Additionally, supported the Algorithms team with infrastructure and tooling support. In 2021, Akasha was operating as an independent subsidiary of Vicarious. Vicarious was acquired by Intrinsic in May, 2022. More information about the acquisition can be found at https://www.intrinsic.ai/blog/posts/new-chapter-for-intrinsic/. ### Software Engineer @ Akasha Imaging Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 ### Senior Software Engineer @ Noven Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Houston, TX Motus Data is an automation startup specializing in Oil and Gas technologies. They aim to provide cloud visualization and monitoring tools for the safety and maintenance of remote sites. • Designed and built an IoT system which aggregates, processes, and uploads sensor data. • Worked closely with data scientists and electrical engineers to validate and test the data flow. ### Senior Software Engineer and Technical Lead @ Focal Systems, Inc. Jan 2016 – Jan 2019 | San Francisco Bay Area Focal Systems is a deep learning and computer vision company solving some of the biggest problems in retail. Founded by Stanford alumni and part of YC’s winter 2016 batch, the company has since grown considerably and developed products to tackle continuous out-of-stock detection and scalable automated checkout. • Joined as one of the first engineers and helped build the company from the ground up. • Architected, built, and deployed a user experience platform to hundreds of IoT devices used by thousands of customers every day in major retail chains. The system was designed to run Deep Learning models with a small memory footprint on device. • Deployed an IoT platform for data acquisition in retail environments, which captured millions of images across clients’ stores and converted them into real-time, actionable insights to improve shoppers' experiences, reduce operating costs, and drive sales. • Led a multidisciplinary team to research and develop checkout automation for retail. Planned the project development and deployment, and designed the system architecture. ### Junior Software Engineer @ Interactive Network Technologies (INT) Jan 2012 – Jan 2013 | Greater Houston INT is a leader in data visualization software for drilling and geoscience applications. Their platform and SDK empower oil and gas companies to make business-critical decisions based on data. • Developed components to visualize several million data points, using Java and OpenGL, for INTs data visualization platform. • Built SDK demos from simple geometry to complex OpenGL rendering. ## Education ### Electrical in Computer, and Software Engineering McGill University Jan 2013 – Jan 2016 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/tflichy --- Source: https://flows.cv/timothe JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/timothe/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-23
