Technical Sales Engineer
Born in 1992, Michael grew up near the mountain Hochwechsel in Styria, eastern Austria.
At the age of 20, he completed an apprenticeship as an automotive technician and became one of the youngest masters in this profession.
He was then a test engineer in the transmission department at AVL List GmbH, mainly responsible for testing dual-clutch transmissions.
In 2019 he started as a Dewesoft support, calibration and application enginner and since 2023 he is working as a technical sales engineer.
After work, he likes to kid around with his little daughter and spend time with his family.
Case Studies
At AIT Austria's SmartEST laboratory, engineers used Dewesoft SIRIUS HS to measure short-circuit currents in a 28.9 V battery module. High-speed measurements using a shunt and Rogowski coil captured peak currents of up to 7,801 A. The recorded data enabled I²t analysis to evaluate thermal stress, understand battery fault behavior, and support the selection of fuses and protective devices.
