Tommy J. - Head of Measurement & Test Center

“Being a control engineer for electrical drives combines a variety of interesting topics, ranging from the design of the feedback system, automatic code-generation to simulation and modeling. Our simulation-driven approach enables a fast and efficient software development for embedded targets. As head of the System Modeling and Control group at MOTEON I'm excited to lead a team of young, motivated and highly-skilled engineers.”

Benjamin J. - Project Owner Motor Control Platform
