Karl Otto Merz

Senior Product Developer

What  I want to create in the future

My passions are engineering design and analysis, and I want to use my accumulated knowledge and skills to develop new, innovative, and above all successful products.  I love engineering challenges both small and large.  “The devil is in the details,” it is said, and I totally agree: for a successful product, the overall concept has to be good, and then the details have to be done right.

What I’ve created

Before my career at Framti, I have developed design concepts and analysis methods within a range of industries: commercial aviation, offshore wind, hydoelectric power, ocean wave energy, and cryogenic liquid hydrogen.

Why I work at Framti

Framti’s unique business model creates a positive team spirit between me and my customers: I get to take on the risk and responsibility for the products that we develop as a team, and then we all get to share in the success.  Every day brings a new challenge, and at the office there’s a great group of people to spend the workday with.
