What is special about working at Infineon?

For me personally, it is the combination of diversity in my work, close collaboration with my team, and the opportunity to develop myself and my skills. I can bring my strengths to the table and embrace responsibility.

What are your main tasks?

Troubleshooting and maintenance of automation equipment.

Outside of office hours, I am the first port of call for automation questions, also interfacing between system experts, line experts, and shift supervisors.

What are the results of your work?

In my short video I give an insight into my daily work.

What are your job highlights?

I like playing the detective and combing through old documents to find the answer to a given problem. Every day brings its own little moments of success and these grow as you gain more experience on the job. Engaging with new technologies is also very exciting – say when a new machine is installed on the production line and we are there to experience the deployment live.

What are your biggest challenges?

Working in a cleanroom is like stepping into another world. Intricate tasks like changing a screw are far from easy when you are wearing gloves. You need to have really good fine motor skills and to be generally fit. In addition to regular climbing feats and working on the machines in cramped postures, you end up walking a good 15,000 steps on an average shift.

Hard or smart working? Why?

Smart working. I always have my cleanroom bag with me – packed, for example, with common spares to replace parts subject to wear and tear. That saves me a lot of footwork. I also have an overview of all systems on my laptop so can prioritize trouble reports.
