Urs: Senior Software Engineer with a very active hobby

Urs is a Senior Software Engineer at HSE. In his interview, he talks about his passion for electronics and why you might find it hard to keep up with him. 

What do you do at HSE?

Urs: As a Senior Software Engineer, I develop software for embedded systems. A key part of my role is to and ensure that our technology functions seamlessly and efficiently.

What’s your background?

Urs: First of all, I completed an apprenticeship as an electronics technician. I then wanted to further my knowledge and expertise and studied electrical engineering at the HSR (University of Applied Sciences Rapperswil).
The last few years have been really beneficial as I gained a lot of experience in the production of small and highly dynamic motion simulators.

What's your motivation?

Urs: My motivation is to solve complex technical problems and to indulge my enthusiasm for information technology and electronics. The sheer variety of this professional field and the desire to work with electronics are the things that drive me every day.

Is the role all that you imagined it would be?

Urs: Yes, the role actually exceeds my expectations. One thing I particularly appreciate is the excellent teamwork. At HSE●AG, the team dynamic is really effective and supportive.

What do you like about HSE?

Urs: I value the employee appreciation, the modern infrastructure, and the great freedom that working in a home office offers.

What do most people not know about you?

Urs: I didn't do any sport for a long time. Then I suddenly began to train intensively doing triathlons and CrossFit and going running and cycling. Now that I have children, I have less time for sport, but I stay active as this provides the perfect balance to sitting in front of a computer at work.

What trends should we keep an eye on?

Urs: We should pay particular attention to the development of artificial intelligence and also keep an eye on advances in technology in general. Some areas, like analysis, are still developing and we can expect them to continually improve.
