The Pop in Your Job – What drives you? Why do you love your job?
Being at the forefront of technical evolvement is one thing. Using technology which is close to mass production is giving it a new dimension. Seeing the first time, how the outcome from research could be realized in an industrial way is a privilege. Especially if it is part of the daily work. Setting up and testing the newest chain of effect is often not working as expected. But exactly that gives the feedback needed to outperform existing solutions and is the basis for success.
