About the person<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From university to the world\u2019s toughest industries.<\/strong> It all began in the laboratories of Jena University of Applied Sciences \u2013 in the field of mechatronics, a discipline that combines mechanics, electronics and computer science into a single field. Even whilst he was still a student, Eric Tobias worked on projects at Jenoptik<\/strong> as a UML and SysML engineer on defence system architectures \u2013 model-based engineering at the highest level, long before it became an industry standard. Master\u2019s degree was accompanied by a further placement at a start-up Ai-Iris<\/strong>, where he developed circuit technology for a medical-optical calibration device \u2013 working hands-on, independently and closely aligned with the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The early years \u2013 sectors where there is no room for error.<\/strong> After completing Master\u2019s degree in Engineering, he joined Rheinmetall<\/strong> straight away \u2013 Defence technology, turret systems, safety-critical documentation. Complex systems, the highest standards, zero tolerance for errors. Those who succeed here will gain a lasting, fresh perspective on quality and responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eric Tobias took the next step between two jobs: a project management training course lasting several months in Hanover \u2013 PMBOK, IPMA and MS Project<\/strong> \u2013 these demonstrably laid the methodological foundations for the next stages of his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An international focus \u2013 electric motors for the whole world.<\/strong> At W. Winkelmann Elektromotoren<\/strong> As a project engineer, Eric Tobias was responsible for the design and calculation of electric motors ranging in power from a few kilowatts to several megawatts \u2013 for industrial clients across all continents in the oil and gas, energy, mechanical engineering and automation sectors. International standards were part of his daily working vocabulary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electric mobility at the very highest level \u2013 Polestar & Mercedes EQ.<\/strong> At Valeo Siemens eAutomotive<\/strong> As Technical Project Manager, Eric Tobias coordinated the final development phase of the high-performance drive system for the Polestar 1<\/strong> \u2013 across sites in Germany, Sweden and China, working closely with the relevant project managers and ensuring the timely series production for further models. At ZF Friedrichshafen<\/strong> he then worked as an external quality planner in the quality management department, supporting the development and production approval of the Mercedes-Benz EQ-drive unit<\/strong> at several German, European and Czech sites \u2013 successfully audited and launched on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional development with long-term prospects \u2013 ICC-accredited Master of Business Administration for engineers.<\/strong> In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, Eric Tobias made a conscious decision to take the next step: His degree as IHK-certified industrial engineer<\/strong> in Regensburg. The reasoning behind this is that the best engineers must also be able to speak the language of senior management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking responsibility on the big stage.<\/strong> At Framatome<\/strong> in his role as external and central dispatcher, Eric Tobias managed the scheduling for an entire business division within the energy technology sector. Deliveries to a wide range of European energy suppliers in Finland, Sweden, England, Germany, Switzerland, Spain and worldwide were coordinated with the respective project managers. At BMW Group<\/strong> in Munich, he took on a role of responsibility as a specialist temporary worker in the context of the New Class HVS - plant development programmes: planning, organisation and coordination at departmental level \u2013 ensuring that engineering and management were on the same page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today - ETF Engineering Task Force.<\/strong> Launched in 2026, this ETF is the logical outcome of over a decade of industry experience. It is not some faceless entity, but a specialist that understands what matters. From defence, medical and electrical engineering, through global energy and propulsion projects, to series production for the world\u2019s leading car manufacturers. Excellence, reliability and efficiency<\/strong> \u2013 not as a promise, but as an attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your project is challenging, time-sensitive or complex \u2013 then that\u2019s the perfect starting point for a discussion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
