Johannes Görthofer

Architect and build FactoryOS, Daedalus’s Factory Operating System, driving software- and AI-assisted orchestration for lights-out CNC precision manufacturing. • Design AI-agent workflows that automate recurring engineering processes around FactoryOS, replacing manual process-planning steps with repeatable automation. • Build Probing Studio, a full-stack tool (frontend, backend, algorithms) that generates Siemens Sinumerik CNC control logic directly from CAD geometry, removing manual G-code authoring.

Delivered a company-wide full-stack data platform (backend, frontend, CI/CD, domain algorithms) for automated collection, storage, conversion, and analysis of measurement data. • Built a data-processing scheduler that scans, copies, and converts measurement data into an ASAM ODS system, enabling daily evaluation of several hundred GB of time-series data. • Designed the REST API and PostgreSQL backend that became the backbone of data processing and analysis for up to 200 test rigs company-wide.

• Directed development of a probabilistic digital-twin extension of that virtual process chain, quantifying process-induced uncertainty for sheet molding compound (SMC) composites. • Organized international workshops and symposia on fiber-reinforced composites. • Lead a cohort of 14 doctoral students in the International Research Training Group 2078
