I build automation solutions for German manufacturing SMEs — deployed on hardware inside the plant, not in a cloud. What I build: • Quality documentation automation — extracting measurement data from handwritten and scanned Prüfprotokolle, checking it against drawing tolerances, rendering it into the format the end customer requires • Automated tolerance and plausibility checks that route flagged values to a human for verification instead of deciding silently • Machine data integration over OPC-UA

Returned to the Nano Dimension team following the closure of J.A.M.E.S. GmbH. Maintained customer relationships and application-knowledge continuity; supported AME application projects and knowledge transfer into post-JV product strategy.

Joint venture between Hensoldt Ventures and Nano Dimension. • Owned R&D and product management for additively manufactured electronics (AME) — technology readiness through productisation • Ran the full product lifecycle of a novel manufacturing platform: authored requirements specifications, coordinated alpha/beta programmes across customer sites, managed feature release • Designed, prototyped, and validated 20+ AME boards; converted conventional PCB designs into 3D-optimised layouts for signal integrit

Supported global customers working with 3D-printed electronics, ensuring technical satisfaction and effective communication. Worked closely with R&D, Product Management, and Sales to identify customer requirements and resolve technical challenges. Translated customer feedback and field requirements into actionable technical and product improvements. Supported customers throughout the adoption and application of advanced 3D electronics manufacturing technologies.

Licensed chief electrician (Israeli certification), authorised for installations up to three-phase, 250 V. Ran the business single-handed alongside military service: customer acquisition, quoting, scheduling, execution, invoicing, and full P&L responsibility. Profitable. Closed voluntarily on relocating to Germany. Where this matters today: I have carried the commercial risk of my own work before, and I know what a regulated installation signed off in my own name costs in care.

Led an engineering team responsible for drone system development and operational support. • Owned planning and execution of multi-disciplinary technical programmes delivered through external contractors including Rafael, Elbit, and Elta — requirements definition, statements of work, acceptance testing • Chaired design reviews spanning navigation, communication, image processing, mechanical, power, cyber, and IT • Built a drone identification and database system with real-time server-side analytics • De

Led the electrical team for the university's Formula Student electric vehicle programme. Designed the 350 VDC powertrain, safety circuitry, and battery management system to SAE standards; 0–100 km/h in 4 seconds. Final-year project: 3-phase grid-connected charging station (~350 A) for the team's fleet.

• Ben-Gurion Racing team - led R&D team focused on powertrain in an electric car including deep research of Lithium-based batteries. • Final project - Power supply system design for electrical racing cars fleet charging station. connection to the local power grid, use of 3-phases and about 350(Amps
