”IMMS offers an extremely creative and versatile working atmosphere. The implementation of projects with various partners from science and industry always brings new challenges that have to be met. With the help of state-of-the-art technology, a wide range of competences in the team and an open working atmosphere, I am developing on a professional level and also have a lot of fun with the tasks.

I mainly deal with the software development of embedded sensor systems. This usually involves several steps: configuration and communications with sensors through various protocols, acquisition and processing of data and transmission to other systems. Such operations are increasingly relevant in our modern world, where automation and self-monitoring of processes increase their efficiency and thus our quality of life.

Since I have been working at IMMS, I have been continuously expanding my knowledge from my studies and at the same time I can try out new concepts and methods to find ever better solutions. The tasks are always new and never boring. If a subtask of a project is very complex, I can always turn to my colleagues to either discuss alternative solutions in the team or get help directly. I experience this willingness to help not only from colleagues from the same team, but also from colleagues from other departments.

One also finds resonance among work colleagues for private initiatives. A great example in my experience is the participation in the Stadtradeln (city cycling) competition, which I suggested. Many colleagues were happy to participate, and the motivation was so good that we were awarded gold by the Ilmenau municipality this year – but above all, it was a lot of fun. I can say the environment is very friendly and I feel very comfortable.“
