Vienna, Austria
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristoph Fröhlich is a research engineer based in Vienna with 11 years of experience applying control systems theory to real-world mechatronic and aerospace projects. At AIT he blends rigorous research with hands-on development, while leading the TU Wien Space Team’s The Hound rocket project and previously serving as its president, roles that illustrate his ability to move designs from concept to flight hardware. His background spans injection-molding process control, automation and mechatronics, and he has led electronics and control efforts for REXUS-class payloads. An active QA/test contributor to ros2_controllers, he brings practical test automation experience to robotic control software—an uncommon bridge between experimental rocketry and open-source ROS tooling. Colleagues know him for combining theoretical depth with a maker’s instinct for optimized, manufacturable solutions.
