Develop and manage requirements engineering processes and tools for mechatronic brake systems. Collaborate closely with system architects to derive detailed, verifiable system-level requirements. Lead cross-brand alignment and configuration management. Drive agilization of requirements workflows to support iterative development in the context of Software Defined Vehicle (SDV).

Implemented Systems Engineering practices to structure and streamline chassis system development, improving process integration and technical alignment across teams.

Designed and tested a self-amplifying, iterative process model for Agile Systems Engineering tailored to high-volatility environments. The concept was validated through its application in a real-world brake-by-wire development project, demonstrating adaptability and system maturity under complexity and uncertainty.

Set up and managed requirements engineering processes, ensuring effective collaboration between development teams and suppliers.

Managed a student project applying agile engineering to develop a digital twin for sustainable commercial vehicle drivetrains, in cooperation with Munich University of Applied Sciences and CM Fluids AG.

Led the post-SOP (Start of Production) brake control system projects for the Audi A6, A7, and A8 models. Responsibilities included system adaptation during model updates, coordination with cross-functional teams + supplier, and ensuring functional maturity of system releases.

Developed and implemented tailored measurement solutions in the field of NVH and performance testing for mechanical foundation brakes. Focused on supporting R&D through specialized instrumentation, data acquisition, and analysis.

Conducted experimental and analytical investigations into noise behavior of Electromechanical Parking Brakes (EPB). Developed measurement setups, analyzed vibration and sound characteristics, and contributed to NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) optimization strategies.

Integrated technical expertise with methodological and interpersonal skills to develop effective and efficient systems and services. Focus areas included managing complexity, project management, systems architecture, Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), systems theory, collaboration models, and enhancing social competencies.

Development and project planning of systems for efficient and sustainable energy generation, energy management and sustainable product lifecycle management Focus: Energy technology, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemistry
