What is special about working at Infineon?

In a job that depends largely on methodological competency, you are dependent on domain experts. At Infineon people are glad to help you out.

What are your main tasks?

Data analysis, mainly developing SQL statements and Python programs. Also, checking the plausibility of my work by discussing results with colleagues.

What are the results of your work?

Tableau reports, which display vital information instead of just data that was previously difficult to access for maintenance and process engineers. Currently, I am working on predicting the outcome (success or failure) of a manufacturing process by applying machine learning algorithms.

What are your job highlights?

When I get a call in the morning to say that something I created is suddenly not working anymore! This shows me that they need it regularly and miss it when it’s gone, because it makes their life easier.

What are your biggest challenges?

Efficiently getting data into the shape that I need it in, so I can use it for the task at hand. This is usually an iterative process though, as I continuously learn more and more about the dataset ‒ and the underlying process the data represents.

What are you most proud of?

I am proud when a colleague that I look up to asks me to be a sparring partner. This demonstration of appreciation keeps me motivated. And it’s always more fun to face tough problems together.
