About

Martin Mirwald is an M.Sc. student in Electrical Engineering at the Technical University of Munich with a focus on embedded systems. His profile combines technical depth, practical execution speed, competitive strength, and long-term responsibility.

His strongest differentiator is the uncommon combination of hardware, embedded systems, AI, automation, and web product development. He does not stop at concepts, he builds systems, prototypes, and tools that actually work.

This makes him especially strong for technical product roles, founding-engineer environments, prototyping, automation, applied AI, and embedded-adjacent development.

Strengths

Builder mindset

Martin combines hardware, software, AI, and automation to turn ideas into working systems quickly.

Technical breadth with depth

From embedded systems and low-power design to OCR, RAG, LLM workflows, servers, and web products, he moves comfortably across layers.

Competitive and execution-focused

Multiple placements in hackathons and competitions reflect not only technical strength, but speed under pressure.

Responsibility and leadership

Volunteer coaching, group responsibility, and club organization show social strength alongside engineering ability.
