International Consulting and Interim Management on Advanced System Engineering Solutions predominantly in the field of aeronautics (civil & military aircraft, airships, UAV), covering in comparable share technical subjects, engineering methods, processes and tools as well as industrial implementation of advanced, innovative solutions. Transfer consulting and Mangement to non-aeronautical branches (automotive, rail, automation, software, logistics) mainly on advanced methods, tools, processes

Responsibilities: development, certification, customisation and integration of flight data recording systems, aircraft condition monitoring system, structural health monitoring system, integrated modular avionic (IMA) system , A310 MRTT Cockpit conversion from civil to military mission

Responsible within System Engineering Centre of Competence for the management of large system-technology programs funded by national and European subvention up to 40 MEURO. Additionally, managing the pre-development of system concepts for future civil and military transport aircraft programs. Industrialisation of adequate system engineering methods, tools and processes (RBE, MBE, formal methods, etc.)

Responsible for the definition and specification of basic systems (utility & flight control systems) for all future aircraft programs: Military Transport A/C, Supersonic Commercial Transport A/C, Ultra High Capacity A/C, supporting technology programs from feasibility study up to fight test demonstration of applicable new technologies.

Manager of a group of system engineers being responsible for the development and qualification (i. e. specification, simulation, and integration) of A340 high lift system and horizontal stabilizer trim system. Definition of the primary flight control concept (FCGC) for the Future Small Advanced Airliner (MPC75, FASA).

Responsible for specification, definition, and development of navigation systems (body control, auto pilot, trajectory management) for guided missiles (flying & diving) and submarine vessels. Development of engineering simulators for the simulation of the 6-DF dynamic behaviour of bodies in fluids used for control system design. Development of a training simulator for pilots training in handling a submarine vessel.

Responsible for the qualification / certification tests of A320 high lift system, primary flight actuation and some hydraulic sub-systems (PTU, e.g.) .
