Ecda Erol
Lead System Engineer, M.Sc.
I turn ambitious hardware ideas into real products.
Force-torque sensors, biosensor platforms, and autonomous systems.
From first sketch to series production —
across ETH spin-offs, global companies, and my own startup.

About
Engineering that ships
Eight years of delivering electro-mechanical systems under real production constraints — award-winning force-torque sensors adopted by global robotics teams, the world's first commercial focal molography instrument, cable-driven robots, and autonomous earthmoving machinery. I operate at the intersection of precision engineering, aggressive timelines, and supply-chain reality, with a bias toward measurable outcomes over theoretical elegance.
Key Impact
System Integration
Multi-domain instruments combining optics, mechanics, fluidics, electronics, and firmware — including the world's first focal molography platform.
Product Realization
10+ sensor SKUs launched, two biotech instruments concept-to-market in 12 months, one startup founded — end-to-end from sketch to series.
Sim-to-Real
4× sensor accuracy improvement through FEA-to-test calibration methodologies — adopted as standard practice across an entire product line.
Rapid Execution
6 months: cable-driven robot, concept to field test. 12 months: two biosensor instruments, concept to market. Speed without compromising quality.
