Stuttgart, Germany · Radar & sensing

I pair hands-on technical depth with long-range strategy, building teams and technology meant to stay relevant a decade out.

I lead a global team of 10–15 engineers across three continents, covering data acquisition, resimulation, and radar development tooling. Our software-in-the-loop simulation cut validation from weeks to days.

I also drive advanced development for production 77–79 GHz radar, including supplier development for 300 GHz. That work is behind 20+ patents filed in radar and signal processing.

On the customer side, I own relationships with automakers, self-driving and new mobility companies, and demonstrate our technology to them directly.

Underneath it all is robotics and systems engineering. I am an internal ROS trainer and work daily with ROS, CUDA, and Linux.

Radar, since 2013.

Hands-on engineering first: algorithms, signal processing, and the tooling behind production radar. That foundation shapes how I lead.
