Ronja Wilkening
Last position:
CTO at plazz AG
Thanks to my ambitions to develop further in the field of project management and my part-time M.B.A. studies, I was able to take on increasing responsibility in an expanding company. The size of my area of responsibility grew to a team of 20, with whom I managed to establish a leading event platform on the German market.
As a result, a second product was developed, which, in addition to the event sector, was also dedicated to the increasing demand for internal company communication tools in the form of a social intranet. When developing these solutions, modern architectures were implemented in the front ends, back ends and the infrastructure.
During my work, various teams were established for the development of the current generation of products, including Mobile App Development, Web Development, Backend/API, Quality Assurance and DevOps.
In my responsibility for software development, I alternated between the roles of Scrum Master and Product Owner, working closely with the growing development teams. As part of product management, I made key architectural decisions and developed a roadmap and the resulting product backlog.
In addition to the topics directly related to software development, I also took care of the department's internal IT, data protection and information security. Under my leadership, an information security management system was implemented that was certified according to VDA ISA (TISAX) and later ISO27001.

About the technology
Sensor systems
Sensor technology turns physical signals into data a machine can use. It sits in products and plants where temperature, pressure, motion, position, light, sound, or vibration must be measured and acted on.
Typical uses
- Industrial monitoring and machine condition checks
- IoT devices that track the environment or movement
- Automotive, robotics, and building automation systems
- Test benches, calibration setups, and lab equipment
Core stack
Strong professionals know the full chain around sensors, not just the device itself. They work with signal conditioning, ADCs, embedded firmware, PLCs, data acquisition, and protocols such as SPI, I2C, CAN, or industrial Ethernet when the setup calls for it.
What specialists do
Sensor work often starts with requirements: range, precision, response time, drift, noise, and operating conditions. From there, specialists select the right sensing principle, design the interface, validate readings, and make sure the output is stable enough for control or analytics.
When to bring in help
Companies usually look for freelance expertise when a sensor project crosses electronics, software, and field conditions. That is common in Germany in manufacturing, mobility, energy, and industrial automation, especially when teams need short-term depth for a prototype, audit, migration, or root-cause analysis.
What good experts deliver
A strong Sensor Technology professional gives clear, testable results. Look for people who document assumptions, handle calibration and error budgets, explain trade-offs between accuracy and cost, and can work with hardware and software teams without losing the measurement goal.
Frequently asked questions
The facts hiring teams ask for most often when it comes to Sensor Technology.
Sensor Technology covers the parts of a system that capture physical conditions and turn them into usable signals. That can include the sensor element, the readout circuit, calibration logic, firmware, and the interface into control or analytics software. In practice, it is used for monitoring, automation, safety checks, and product behavior tracking.
Sensor Technology is about measurement quality first, while IoT work often focuses on connectivity and data flow. A sensor specialist cares about accuracy, drift, noise, sampling, and how the signal behaves in the real environment. IoT can sit on top of that, but it does not replace the measurement side.
Bring in a Sensor Technology specialist when the team needs focused knowledge for a prototype, a failed reading chain, or a product that must work in harsh conditions. Freelancers are also useful when you need help choosing a sensing principle or fixing calibration and integration issues. They can slot into an existing hardware or embedded team quickly.
A strong Sensor Technology professional usually brings embedded systems, electronics, signal processing, and test engineering skills. Depending on the project, knowledge of PLCs, industrial communication, data acquisition, or mechanical constraints may matter too. The best fit is someone who can connect measurement, hardware, and software decisions.
A Sensor Technology project needs the right depth, not just broad familiarity. Simple integrations may need someone who can wire, validate, and document a known sensor stack, while new product designs often need a specialist who understands error budgets, calibration, and edge cases. If the measurement affects safety or quality, senior judgment matters early.
Yes, much of Sensor Technology can be done remotely if the project already has hardware on hand and a local contact can run bench tests. Design reviews, data analysis, firmware changes, and calibration planning are often remote-friendly. On-site time helps when lab equipment, production lines, or field conditions must be observed directly in Germany.
A good Sensor Technology specialist explains why a sensor choice fits the use case and what the limits are. Look for clear test plans, calibration steps, handling of noise and drift, and documentation that lets others reproduce results. Strong answers are specific about measurement trade-offs, not generic about hardware.
Sensor Technology is the broader term. Sensor systems usually means the full measurement chain, while industrial sensors points to the devices used in plants, machines, and automation setups. Searchers may use those terms differently, so a strong specialist should understand all three and the context behind each one.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Sensor Technology in their recent projects is 109 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 870 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Germany who have used Sensor Technology in their recent projects, 95% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 76% hold at least a Master's degree, and 16% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers in Germany who have used Sensor Technology in their recent projects have 22 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 5.7 years.
The most common languages among freelancers in Germany who have used Sensor Technology in their recent projects are German (100%), English (98%), and French (19%).
The most common industries among freelancers in Germany who have used Sensor Technology in their recent projects are Manufacturing (79%), Automotive (66%), and Information Technology (47%).
The most common business areas among freelancers in Germany who have used Sensor Technology in their recent projects are Product Development (87%), Information Technology (66%), and Project Management (66%).
