Thomas Reidemeister, PhD
Director & CTO, Labforge Inc.
Embedded Wizard


I make my living designing vision systems. I manage a team of excellent engineers to bring artificial intelligence to affordable edge sensors. In addition to sensors, we worked on daring prototypes of voice recognition systems for secure access, autopilots for heavy-lift drones, and control concepts for automotive.

Before my tenure at Labforge, I worked on cutting-edge cloud solutions for IBM, jet engine control systems for Pratt & Whitney, safety-critical controllers for rockets, embedded medical devices with Enginuity. I served in the German Army 1st Armoured Division.

I consider myself baptized by more than two decades spent in embedded system realization, enterprise software, small business administration, executive management, and teaching university-level operating systems courses. Still some folks (e.g., recruiters) like to fish for extra beans. Please note some of these go back a few years …
