Summary
Thomas Schütz is the founder and CEO of PROTOS Software GmbH with over 15 years of experience building model-driven, domain-specific tools and test systems for embedded devices. He specializes in enabling early, automated integration and system testing—bridging the gap between unit tests and full HIL setups—through compact, desktop-friendly hardware like the PROTOS miniHIL. Based in Munich, he focuses on accelerating development cycles, improving quality, and reducing testing costs by embedding continuous testing on evaluation boards from the earliest stages. Thomas combines technical leadership with a pragmatic product mindset, delivering safety-aligned integration tests and fast feedback loops for rapid bug resolution. His approach is notable for making traditionally large-scale HIL capabilities accessible from home offices and small labs.
