Markus Lutz

Markus co-founded SiTime in 2005 and, within two years, released the world’s first MEMS oscillator into mass production. Markus is a MEMS expert, a prolific entrepreneur and inventor. He holds over 100 patents, including patents underlying MEMS First™ and EpiSeal™, the processes used to manufacture SiTime silicon MEMS resonators and make them extremely small, durable, and reliable, with quality that is 50 times better than quartz resonators.

Markus’s success in MEMS began at Robert Bosch GmbH, where he invented the world’s first mass-produced MEMS gyroscope. This technology is fundamental to modern vehicle stability and is considered Bosch’s most successful component project. Markus was a visiting scholar at Stanford University for five years, is a frequent speaker at major MEMS conferences, and recurrent contributor to technical journals. He received his Diplom Ingenieur Elektrotechnik at the Technical University of Munich.
