Offers technical support on the assembly line to help optimise the production process. She also designs safe customised packaging solutions and oversees the final presentation of our products. She attended The University of Dundee, completing several courses in Architecture and gaining related skills along the way.

IT & USER EXPERIENCE

With a Master’s degree in Industrial product design and former education in mechanical engineering, he oversees testing and quality assurance processes. He also helps as a photographer and digital fabrication operator.

EMBEDDED ENGINEER

He likes to get into nitty-gritty details of firmware development. His speciality is creating Machine Learning applications for small embedded devices.

ELECTRONICS ENGINEER

As an embedded engineer with Masters degree from University of Maribor and a Certified IPC specialist according to IPC-A-610 he is focused on designing and manufacturing of electronic circuits.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPER

With broad experience in a variety of programming languages, he develops all and every kind of software needed for our projects, including firmware and mobile applications. He makes a fully functional product, no matter what the requirements are. For a semester he studied in Lisbon at ISEL and wrote his master’s thesis in Heraklion on Crete.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPER

Focuses mainly on firmware development of Zephyr RTOS based systems as well as manages product testing by developing and managing automated testing suites, both for software and hardware. Whether during active development or in the production phase, he makes sure new features work and the old ones don’t break, so that our products are always up to par. He holds a master’s degree in Computer Science.

MECHANICAL ENGINEER

Has completed a master’s in Mechanical Engineering at Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Maribor. He has experience in 3D modelling with different CAD and CAE software programs. No matter what the application is, he takes our products from the initial idea to a fully optimised finished prototype following the optimal path.

BIOMEDICAL RESEARCHER / BIOPRINTING DEVELOPER

Biomimetics and tissue engineering enthusiast. Develops protocols for tailor-made research tools and mediates communication between scientists and engineers. He obtained a PhD in natural sciences from RWTH Aachen University and currently holds a post-doc position at the University of Maribor. He loves tinkering in the lab and finding new ways of measuring biological phenomena.

LEAD EMBEDDED HARDWARE ENGINEER

He is focused on the development of innovative hardware with the use of the latest technologies and creating test processes for hardware testing. He carries out the role of supervising the quality of our assembly line and is also responsible for ordering components for various projects we are working on.
