Reutlingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
I cover EMEA sales for Nexustest (Semight Instruments), focusing on test solutions for high-speed optical communications and silicon photonics. My work spans transceiver characterization, coherent systems, and photonic IC testing — working with research institutes, component manufacturers, and network equipment providers across Europe and the Middle East.
At the intersection of automotive innovation and semiconductor excellence, I lead the strategic development of communication ASICs that power next-generation vehicle architectures. My work focuses on enabling zonal E/E systems, scalable connectivity, and robust cybersecurity – critical foundations for autonomous driving, electrification, and AI-driven mobility. As the product manager for Remote Control Protocol (RCP)-enabled chips, I drive solutions that: Simplify Vehicle Architectures: Replace legacy networks with Ethernet/CAN-based RCP frameworks, reducing wiring complexity by up to 40% while enabling real-time control of distributed ECUs. Unlock SDV Capabilities: Support over-the-air (OTA) updates, centralized diagnostics, and dynamic resource allocation through IEEE 802.3cg (10BASE-T1S Ethernet) and CAN XL/FD integration. Future-Proof Security: Embed MACsec (Layer 2 encryption), CANsec (authentication for safety-critical networks), and HSM-based key management to exceed ISO 21434, UN R155, and ASPICE standards.
