Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartin Kielhorn is a software and firmware engineer with 16 years of experience blending physics-driven research and hands-on development across optics, microscopy, ultrasound, and photonics. He holds a PhD in Physics and has applied numerical modeling and signal-processing expertise to roles at Hexagon, Philips, EFFECT Photonics and research institutes, delivering calibration systems, wafer-prober analytics, and imaging reconstruction pipelines. Comfortable in Python, Matlab and C++, he also builds low-level drivers and embedded/FPGA solutions for real-time measurement systems. His work spans both experiments (holography, optical tweezing, waveguide propagation) and production engineering (photonic integrated circuit models, microscopy automation). Notably, he bridges academic rigor with product-focused prototyping—turning synthetic aperture radar, fluorescence microscopy and integrated photonics concepts into deployable software. Based in Rheinfelden, Switzerland, he brings a rare mix of theoretical optics, DSP and practical firmware skills to multidisciplinary engineering teams.
