Intelligent solutions and conclusive design concepts are naturally eye-catching. My passion is innovative creativity to precisely fulfill customer needs. Working as a Prototype Engineer, I fulfill my passion and enjoy developing and motivating strong teams. I love working on new design projects with efficient teams and exploring the art of innovation to new levels!
Transfer machine functions into design elements. Shape with external consultans the digital and valuable face of future machine concept. Generating a visual interaction between user and machine and integrated also this function in the corresponding machine optic. The first machine designed within my responsibility won an international design award.
Technical project lead for a new Voith BlueLine machine, where we targeted to increase our competitiveness and having a Smart Machine with local control. The machine has been designed with many new features on the market and reaching a new level of safety. In several trails we tested new types of sensors and generated algorithm to e.g. increase the life time of the machine parts or monitor the perfect performance window of the machine. In addition a local control has been developed with our automation and programming experts to generate an intelligent and protected package.
International project with the target of producing 2nd generation (E2G) bio fuel (ethanol) out of biomass. Starting with solving all the challenges in the Canadian pilot plant of our specifically designed pre-treatment machines for several types of "used" plant remains. After this stage our customer decided to develop the first semi commercial E2G-Plant in Brazil, where I have been the technical project leader for our machines. Therefor the very special machines have been designed from me according to the outstanding technological needs, very low pH-value, high temperature operation, caustic washing, massive abrasion and the high inner pressure, in conformance to the ASME-Code. I have also been in charge with a core team to fulfill ASME regulations, purchasing issues and manufacturing process. After the start-up I also performed an inspection on site in Brazil and developed further improvements together with the customer. Provided a maintenance concept to the customer and consulted to start a refurbishment concept, carried out by Voith Brazil.
Diploma thesis regarding creating and designing a standardization concept of purchased tool systems.
Internship within R&D Department; Research trials concerning a new thermal shock protection of oxygen sensors.
