Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarcus Erbar is a radar engineer and customer interface lead with a rare blend of 15+ years in visual effects and nine years in radar and ADAS software engineering. At ZF he bridges technical delivery and commercial motion—leading RFIs/RFQs, running sensor trials, and shaping product roadmaps to align radar capabilities with customer needs. He has hands-on embedded SW experience for safety-critical functions like AEB and ACC, and a proven track record of shepherding features from development through SOP. Earlier roles at DreamWorks and boutique VFX studios show deep systems and tooling chops—C++ plugins, Python automation, and workflow tools that boosted artist productivity by up to 50%. Based in Koblenz, Germany, he pairs creative problem-solving from film production with rigorous engineering discipline, making him effective at translating complex technical trade-offs into customer-facing decisions. An instructive but less obvious strength is his history of building cross-domain pipelines that keep data integrity across heterogeneous tools, a skill he leverages when coordinating multi-team sensor evaluations and customer integrations.
