Michael Sausmikat

I am a passionate electrical engineer who thrives on solving complex challenges and driving innovation. My expertise goes beyond electrical engineering, as I have cultivated a versatile skill set spanning programming, mechanical engineering, and critical soft skills like leadership and agile team management. My journey began with diverse internships at Tyrolit, Siemens, ORS, and General Electric, which laid the groundwork for my technical and professional growth. During my time at university, I explored the intersection of technology and creativity, completing a Bachelor Thesis on ultrasonic trilateration and participating in the Roboy project. There, I led a team to develop an autonomous tricycle for ice cream delivery—a project that later inspired the spin-off startup "WARP." After my time with Roboy, I joined RobCo, a Munich-based startup revolutionizing the labor market with modular robotic systems. Initially, I joined RobCo to conduct my Master Thesis, but my role quickly expanded. I took on responsibilities in electronics design, development, and safety compliance to meet industry norms. Contributing during RobCo’s seed-extension funding stage was an exhilarating experience—I embraced the opportunity to present RobCo's vision on stages and at trade fairs, sharing our mission to tackle labor shortages with cutting-edge robotics. I bring a holistic approach to projects, taking them from initial concept through development, prototyping, and scaling to mass production. Whether leading a team, solving technical problems, or sharing a company’s vision with the world, I am driven by curiosity, creativity, and a commitment to excellence.
