What is special about working at Infineon?

Infineon is a people-oriented company that cares about employees, provides opportunities to those that are hard-working and career-oriented, and is invested in their success.

What are your main tasks?

My job as Director Design Enabling Services is intellectually stimulating and fulfilling. My main task is to develop methodologies for designers to make them efficient and meet time-to-market demands. I am leading four methodology teams – Applied Machine Learning, Design Automation, System Modelling, and Ecosystem and Digitalized System Development – providing them with strategic direction and keeping them motivated to achieve their goals.

What are the results of your work?

The results of my work are flows and methodologies which can help designers be more efficient and successful in their day-to-day work. This gives me the satisfaction of knowing that my job enables faster time-to-market for Infineon.

What are your job highlights?

Leading, motivating, and directing my teams towards success. It gives me immense pleasure to drive technical topics and workflows for the success of Infineon.

What are your biggest challenges?

The biggest challenge is to continuously look at the design flows/methodologies and further improve them to make designers more efficient. It is very different from regular implementation work. Coming up with new ways of increasing efficiency in existing methods is more directed towards innovation. In addition to the innovative element, my work also involves engaging with and motivating designers from all business units to use these methodologies as a way to contribute to Infineon’s success. 

What are you most proud of?

I am most proud of the fact that I joined Infineon in 2010 as an individual contributor and within just 9 years, I rose to Director of the Design Enabling Services group, leading four teams. This is thanks to the many opportunities that I get at Infineon to expand my knowledge and hone my skills.
