Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSascha Schade is a multidisciplinary engineering leader blending 14 years of hands-on robotics, embedded and cloud software experience with executive responsibility as CTO and Mitglied der Geschäftsleitung at Balteschwiler AG. Trained as a Diplom‑Ing. in both Mechanical and Electrical Engineering from RWTH Aachen and a timber engineer from HS Augsburg, he uniquely bridges digital timber fabrication and robotic automation to deliver customer-focused innovation. He is proficient in ROS, Python, C++ and AI, with low-level embedded work (C++23 drivers for AVR/ARM in the modm project) through to AWS cloud deployments. Former roles leading robotic software and digital fabrication teams demonstrate his ability to turn research-grade systems into production-ready manufacturing solutions. Known for fixing tricky low-level bugs and shipping robust drivers, he combines deep technical craft with strategic product delivery.
