Benedikt Klein

Embedded Systems

Mindfully Engineered

I support companies and startups in the development of embedded systems — efficiently, reliably and with an eye for the essentials.

Let's Talk

Aloha

I'm Benedikt, a Senior Embedded Systems Freelancer with a Master’s degree (M.Sc.) in Intelligent Embedded Microsystems.

I support startups and companies with in-depth embedded expertise — remotely or on-site. With over 15 years of experience across various industries, countless problem-solving situations and more than 100 hours of teaching at the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University (DHBW), I bring a unique mix of technical depth, creative thinking and reliability that helps teams move forward.

From hardware-related development to holistic system solutions, I combine engineering precision with an intuitive sense for what makes technology meaningful and inspiring.

I’m fascinated by the synergy between hardware and software — how technology can bring new ideas to life and solve real problems, in ways that feel intuitive, thoughtful, and tangible. In short: mindfully engineered.

What I Offer

I support companies through all stages of embedded development – from concept to implementation. Combining technical expertise with clear structure, reliability and a mindful attention to detail.

Development

From circuit design to firmware. Hardware and software, seamlessly connected. I build systems that are clean, efficient and built to last.

Architecture & Consulting

Guidance for system design and platform choices. Make confident technical decisions and avoid costly detours.

Mentoring & Team Support

Pair programming, code reviews and knowledge transfer. Helping teams grow technically and collaboratively.

Testing & Quality

Modern testing and validation for reliable embedded systems. Quality that endures beyond release.

Research & Prototyping

Quick, focused experiments to validate ideas early. Bridging creativity with solid engineering.

Exploration & Game Engineering

Exploring the link between embedded systems and interactive technology. Bringing engineering precision into creative worlds.

Why Choose Me

Engineering with structure, curiosity and calm focus. Technology is built by people and how we work together matters.

Systems Thinking

I think in systems, not silos. Hardware and software are two sides of the same process. I connect both worlds with architectural clarity and attention to every layer in between.

Trust & Responsibility

Reliable communication and structured execution are non-negotiable. I take ownership for results, integrate seamlessly into teams and deliver what I commit to.

Curiosity & Growth

My curiosity bridges disciplines. I learn quickly, connect ideas and bring new perspectives into projects. For me, learning, reflection and iteration are part of engineering, not an afterthought.

Aloha Mindset

For me, “Aloha” means working with respect, clarity and kindness. Projects are most successful when collaboration feels natural, grounded and human.

What People Say
