Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Engineering manager of a team of system architects and technical project leaders and verification and validation engineers that develop and deliver new state of the art products: Augmented reality, Auto-focus, spectral analysis, human interaction, control and analysis systems, for consumer electronics, automotive, industrial, and biotechnology markets. Applying Systems Engineering, we focus on taking new technologies from early concept to the product level, joining electronics, optics, firmware, mechatronics, packaging, hardware and software, including machine learning and AI. Extended experience in communicating technical results to a broad spectrum of audiences and departments, including interactions with customers and key suppliers.
Head of the systems engineering group. It's our mission to coordinate the full stack of system development from concept to validation. We provide System Architecture of complex mechatronic systems that interact with 3rd party vendors physically and through software. We follow up that the implementation fulfills customer needs, is modular and compatible with the business case and is compliant with regulations and directives (IEC 61010, ISO12100, CE marking,etc.). We manage requirements, system integration, verification and validation, communicating with all stakeholders, from business to the cross functional teams (Hardware, mechatronics, firmware, software, electronics, processes, quality, etc.).
Systems Engineering Senior Manager. At ams OSRAM I design, plan and develop complex systems with my System architecture, Verification and Validation and Innovation Teams, with system architects, Technical Project Leads and Requirement, Verification and Validation engineers. We own the transformation of system requirements onto products, from scouting, feasibility and early prototyping till mass production. On the technical side, working closely and coordinating with engineering teams (Electronics (ASIC, PCB, PCBA), Software (Firmware, Machine Learning, GUI, APIs, etc.), Optics, Mechanical Design, Process, Semiconductor). Application of System Engineering processes and practices (System thinking) I actively collaborate with Product Management, Project Management Office, Quality, Application Engineering and Operations teams to plan and execute development projects, ensure efficient resource allocation, and drive cost optimization. We have developed products and demonstrators for consumer electronics (Tablets, phones), robotics, automotive and industrial partners: Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality (AR/VR), eye tracking, SLAM, odometry, quantum sensing, proximity sensing, spectral sensing, auto-focus, face-recognition, etc.
Engineering Senior Manager, System architecture Team. Responsible for a team of Technical Project Leads and System Architects. Owning the development of system requirements. Working closely with engineering teams (Electronic, Software, Firmware, Optics, Packaging, Process) and Marketing for the development of new products. Application of System Engineering processes and practices (System thinking) Coordinating and engaging cross-functionally with other engineers to develop new concepts.
Leading the System Design team and later System Architecture team at the New Product Research and 3D System Definition. Definition of the architecture of systems and development of new sensors. Alignment of project tasks with other functional areas. Definition and implementation of working processes. Creative problem-solving approaches, understanding the needs of customers and transforming them into architectures, using system and requirements-engineering, following up the product from concept to mass production as technical leads.
