Villach, Graz, Linz – March 3, 2022 – More women are needed in technology! Read here what the most diverse TOP female engineers at Infineon like about their jobs and what framework conditions Infineon offers for more diversity.

 

Renewable energies, environmentally friendly mobility, energy efficiency or secure data transfer in a networked world - microelectronics offers great job opportunities to shape the future in a sustainable way. And that's where skilled experts - and especially female technicians - are needed.

 

Sabine Herlitschka, CEO of Infineon Technologies Austria AG: "Diversity is an undisputed success factor, both economically and socially. Today, women are better educated than ever before. So it's not a question of skills, but often of awareness, framework conditions and appropriate offers." 

 

Technology careers with the best framework conditions

For Infineon, women in technology are one of the greatest potentials. Therefore, some activities are set to show and enable highly attractive career paths for women in technology. In the competition for skilled workers the overall package counts. In addition to an interesting job with many career opportunities, Infineon also offers appropriate framework conditions. Equal opportunities, family friendliness, diversity in practice and attractive working and living environments are key factors.

 

Comprehensive offers such as flexible working hours, training and further education also on an online basis, home office and part-time options, child care offers, vacation care are just as much a part of this as a program for health promotion or even support for relocation. Infineon Austria was awarded the "berufundfamilie" certificate for its particularly family-friendly commitment.

 

Getting girls interested in technology as early as possible  

Infineon is also involved in promoting young people's interest in technology as early as possible: In the daycare center, the "International Daycare Center" in Villach, children from one to six years of age are introduced to science and technology through play. The highly motivated kindergarten teachers have also received the MINT seal of approval for this. Infineon actively is involved in initiatives like “Girls Day”, cooperates with schools, universities of applied sciences and universities, supports six endowed professorships, initiates new training models such as "apprenticeship and study", focuses on in-company training and further education, mentoring and management programs. 

 

Diversity as a success factor

At Infineon Austria, the issue of diversity is about more than bringing together people of different genders, backgrounds or ages. It is about using differences in thinking, in approach and thus coming up with new solutions. After all, diversity is an underestimated competitive and innovative factor.

 

The more than 4,800 employees at the Infineon sites in Villach, Graz, Linz, Klagenfurt and Vienna come from 72 nations. The proportion of university graduates is 57 percent. At Infineon, the development of women in management positions worldwide is one of the focal points of diversity management and is underpinned by specific targets to increase the proportion of women in management positions.

 

High-tech jobs with top opportunities

Infineon offers attractive opportunities for experienced professionals, technical graduates or students from all over the world. The fields of electrical engineering, physics, automation and mechatronics, IT or chemistry are in demand. Infineon makes an important contribution with top female technicians - and wants more of them!
