Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Reitmayr is a software architect with 26 years of experience designing safety-critical train interlocking systems and leading embedded and digital hardware projects. He combines system architecture, requirements specification and hands-on implementation across FPGA/ASIC design, Linux/virtualization, and embedded software (C, Java, CHILL, assembler), with deep experience in production test pattern generation and test-driven hardware design. His career includes long tenures at Thales and Hitachi Rail, and managerial ASIC work coordinating P&R and first-sample deliveries with manufacturers. An active open-source contributor, he improved SWIG’s Ruby bindings and fixed watchdog behavior in embedded IoT code, showing a knack for subtle cross-language and platform integration issues. Based in Vienna, he pairs rigorous engineering discipline from a TU Wien Master’s with practical field support for deployed rail systems.
