Career Path
Jan 2026 – PresentZurich, Switzerland
Founder
- Founded a sensor company and architected AXIOM, a family of 6-axis force-torque sensors designed for industrial robotics. Leading all engineering workstreams from first prototype through industrialisation, while securing pilot deployments across precision assembly, material processing, and humanoid robotics.
Sep 2023 – PresentZurich, Switzerland
Lead System Engineer
- Shipped the world's first commercial focal molography instrument, the MACS Matchmaker, bringing together optics, mechanics, micro-fluidics, electronics, and firmware into a single benchtop platform. Owning the full mechanical release workflow and managing R&D budget across multiple engineering disciplines.
2023Zurich, Switzerland
Engineering Consultant
- Designed the teleoperation workstation and rugged enclosure for an autonomous earthmoving platform, enabling remote supervision of heavy machinery on active construction sites.
Nov 2021 – Aug 2023Zurich, Switzerland
Mechanical Design Engineer
- Primary mechanical engineer for the award-winning MiniONE force-torque sensor family, owning the full design-to-manufacturing pipeline across the entire product line. Built the company's PLM infrastructure from the ground up and developed novel calibration methods that became standard practice.
Jun 2021 – Oct 2021Zurich, Switzerland
Research Assistant
- Designed and built the Eagle cable-driven floating robot from concept to field-tested prototype as master thesis. Invented a novel actuator coupling mechanism, a first in cable-driven parallel robotics, and engineered lightweight structures and an end-effector for autonomous harvesting.
Oct 2020 – Feb 2021Zurich, Switzerland
Mechanical Engineering Intern
- Supported the scale-up of a bi-component fibre-spinning plant from lab to pilot production, contributing mechanical design and thermal optimisation of the drying process.
Jun 2018 – Aug 2018Stuttgart, Germany
Researcher
- Researched haptic feedback for tele-operated surgical robots at the Haptic Intelligence department. Designed actuator hardware and experimental rigs, work that contributed to a peer-reviewed publication in Frontiers in Robotics and AI.
Aug 2017 – Sep 2017Tekirdag, Turkey
Mechanical Engineer
- Analysed production line throughput and proposed process improvements on the shop floor of one of Europe's largest home-appliance factories.
Sep 2017 – Jun 2019Istanbul, Turkey
Research Intern
- Researched mechanism kinematics for tele-operated surgical robotics and designed a force sensor for colonoscopy as B.Sc. thesis.
