Max is a Requirement and Test Engineer at HSE. He explains in this interview what he likes most about HSE and how to spot him at Lake Zurich.
What do you do at HSE?
I test and verify our product designs. During product development, I make sure that all requirements are met. Furthermore, I place particular importance on ensuring that our products are safe for users and patients.
What’s your background?
I completed an apprenticeship as a surveying technician and then gained a degree in physics. As a physicist, I am fascinated by the mathematical description of processes. I also have experience in sensor development, quality assurance in production, and life cycle management.
What’s your motivation?
My motivation is to understand the correlations hidden in measurement data. The fact that my home is close to HSE is an additional bonus of this job.
Is the role all that you imagined it would be?
Yes, the role meets all my expectations. Thanks to my previous experience in this field, I knew what to expect. It also really helped that I already knew around half of the employees.
What do you like about HSE?
I particularly appreciate the manageable size of HSE and the transparent way of working. The open atmosphere promotes exchange and teamwork. Our employees are competent and have an exceptional understanding of their specialist areas, which facilitates cooperation and avoids unnecessary discussions.
What do some people not know about you?
In my free time, I enjoy swimming in Lake Zurich. With a buoy trailing behind me to ensure that boats can see me I find relaxation in the tranquility of the lake and the steady movement through the water.
What trends should we keep an eye on?
Data storage and analysis by artificial intelligence (AI), are continuously increasing. Mobile medical devices that can capture human biometric data enable patients to visit the doctor less frequently. It is crucial that we participate in the development of such technologies at an early stage.
