Noah Hütter

Hi! I'm Noah, an electrical engineer from Zurich, Switzerland.

Highly motivated and hardworking Electrical Engineering student with excellent grades in both key modules and maths seeking for a career in research and development with demanding challenges.

I currently study Electrical Engineering and Information Technology in the Master’s degree programme at ETH Zurich.

In my free time the fascination of Electronics motivates me to pursue private projects and finance my coffee consumption on freelance colaborations.

Mettler Toledo

Seasonal Job

Assignment included hardware prototyping and testing as well as writing extensive measurement protocols to verify a products market suitability.

July 2011 - August 2015

Müller Martini Zofingen

Apprenticeship Electronics Technician

After the compulsory school I started my apprenticeship in electronics with simultaneous professional matura. A highlight was the participation at SwissSkills championships where I scored third place

Projects

Selected projects

FPGA for Enhanced Image Processing

Bachelor's Thesis

Together with a fellow student we implemented an image processing algorithm on multiple FPGAs to accelerate image processing. Thanks to my implementaton of a full Ethernet stack, the solution is scalable on a network.
