Summary
Peter Jakobs is a software designer with 12+ years crafting embedded and application software for appliances, machines, and safety-critical systems from Eindhoven. He specializes in C, C++, C#/.NET and Java, and has applied those skills across robotics, Android, FPGA-based safety designs (including a triple-modular redundant track relay on Xilinx Zynq), and medical and industrial imaging domains. His career spans research-driven prototyping at Philips Research to production engineering at TomTom, TOMRA and Vanderlande, combining hands-on low-level development with Agile delivery. Comfortable moving between MCU/FPGA, real-time control and higher-level application stacks, he focuses on reliable, auditable solutions for automated systems. Trained in Mechanical Systems Control Engineering (TU/e), he brings a control-theory mindset to software design, favoring deterministic behaviour and safety-by-design.
