Summary
Sebastian Pointner is an RF systems engineer and architect with 11 years of experience bridging academic research and industry-grade silicon design, currently shaping RF systems at Apple from the Linz-Wels-Steyr area. He blends a strong academic foundation—a Diplom-Ingenieur and doctoral work at Johannes Kepler Universität Linz—with hands-on ASIC, SoC design and verification expertise developed as a university assistant and researcher. His background includes firmware and RTOS development, test automation and DevOps from embedded-product work, and pre/post-silicon evaluation experience from Infineon. Comfortable moving between system architecture, hardware-software integration and teaching, he brings both deep technical rigor and practical delivery to complex cellular and RF integration challenges. An understated thread through his career is a focus on tooling and automation for EDA and test workflows that accelerates turn‑key silicon validation.
