About

I am DI Dr. Peter Haidl, owner of Haidl-Engineering e.U., based in Feldkirchen bei Graz. Following my doctorate in Mechanical Engineering in 2021 and a subsequent three-year tenure as a research scientist, I founded my engineering consultancy in 2024.

Academic Engagement & Network
An essential component of my professional identity and methodology is my close integration with research and academia. This secures a continuous transfer of state-of-the-art know-how, flowing directly into my customer projects.

Graz University of Technology: Since 2014, I have been actively involved in teaching at the Institute of Machine Components and Methods of Development.

FH Joanneum: Active as a lecturer for the module "Machine Elements 2" since 2026.

Academic & Scientific Foundation

From my long-standing tenure at TU Graz, a deep network with academic institutes and research groups has grown. This direct connection to science makes it possible to develop innovative, scientifically proven solutions, even for highly demanding industrial challenges.

A selection of subject-specific publications highlights this close connection to research and development, flowing directly into the execution of your assignments."
