Konrad obtained his B.Eng and MSc.Eng degrees in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa in 2004 and 2007 respectively. His Masters Thesis focused on the design of high efficiency RF Doherty power amplifiers. In 2006 he started working at Poynting Antennas (Pty) Ltd as an antenna engineer. In 2008 he joined Magus (Pty) Ltd as an antenna engineer to write antenna design algorithms to be included in the Antenna Magus design software. He remained with Magus during the acquisition by CST AG in 2014 and the subsequent acquisition of CST AG by Dassault Systèmes in 2016.
