Work experience at WHITEvoid

From 2015 to 2021, I worked as a Mechanical Engineer at WHITEvoid, an innovative design and art studio based in Berlin. WHITEvoid is renowned for its groundbreaking work in the fields of kinetic installations, lighting design, and immersive experiences. Through their subsidiary, Kinetic Lights, they have established a hardware company dedicated to advancing kinetic light installations, holding multiple patents and developing and producing products entirely in Berlin. Many of their products have now become integral parts of the immersive permanent exhibition, Dark Matter and numerous spectacular shows, such as ABBA Voyage London

Tasks at WHITEvoid as part of the development team:

  • Design, development and manufacturing management of winch systems for kinetic light installations

  • Design and manufacturing management of light elements and other hardware

  • Creation of detailed technical documentation and part- and assembly drawings with SolidWorks

  • Assembly and testing of prototypes

  • Lead during setup for multiple Kinetic Lights systems worldwide
