Michael Pöhnl is Chief Technology Officer at ekxide IO GmbH. Before joining ekxide, he worked for Apex.AI and Bosch. At Apex.AI, he served as Principal Engineer, where he led the technical strategy and coordinated the product architecture of Apex.Grace and Apex.Ida. At Bosch, he held various engineering and research roles, focusing on engine control systems, video-based driver assistance, corporate research, and automated driving.

A microcontroller-based middleware he developed is deployed in radar, front video, and surround-view systems across millions of production vehicles from multiple manufacturers. The POSIX version, developed by his teams, was open-sourced in 2019 as Eclipse iceoryx and is now used across a range of industries worldwide. Today, ekxide is the main company behind the Eclipse iceoryx project, continuing its development and stewardship.
