From 1968 to 1984 he was a scientist at the Technical University of Munich and later a group leader at the Society for Reactor Safety in Garching. The main focus of research was the approval of computers in safety applications in nuclear power plants . In 1971, Ehrenberg with a thesis on Hybrid computers at the Technical University of Munich to Dr. Ing. PhD .

Ehrenberg received in 1984 a reputation as a professor for software engineering and software security at the University of Applied Sciences Fulda, today University of Fulda , and thus one of the first professors of the newly created Department of Applied computer science there. He retired in 2006, but is still a lecturer at the Fulda University of Applied Sciences and is active in various committees.
