The Pop in Your Job – What drives you? Why do you love your job?
Creating concepts and finding solutions to solve issues is something what I enjoy quite a lot. In this scope I really like to create safety architectures for SAE Level 3 autonomous vehicle that are not only safe, but also cost efficient. To address discovered weaknesses in the development process I like to introduce and justify new approaches. Analyzing existing systems in a destructive manner to identify potential faults is for me a rewarding task, because you can show and evaluate improvement possibilities.
