Marwan | Developer

27 years old
Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering / Master of Science in Robotics and Automation for Intelligent Systems
since 2022 at imos

How did you come to imos?
My skills from my Master of Science degree in Robotics and Automation for Intelligent Systems matched well with the requirements for the job. Also imos deals with the topic of AI, i.e. artificial intelligence, which is why I was then successfully hired.

What are your current responsibilities at imos?
I started one and a half years ago as a front-end developer for the iX NET product. My area of responsibility is constantly evolving and now also includes the iX Scout product.

What are your goals / where do you want to go?
With the rapid advancements and the world moving towards solving complex problems in innovative ways, my long-term goal is to go deeper into the field of machine learning. This is a subfield of artificial intelligence. By recognizing patterns in existing data sets, IT systems are able to find solutions to problems on their own. My studies and my master's thesis were both focused on exactly that. I hope to apply these skills here at imos and thus support the company's vision for the future.

studies Master of Science Production Engineering and Management
since 2020 at imos

How did you get started at imos?
During my studies I was looking for an internship and found out that imos offers internships.

Afterwards, I had the opportunity to write a master's thesis on the same topic I had worked on during my internship.

Why did you study the subject?
Since I started my master's degree, I knew I wanted two things: first, to work in Germany and second, to build my career in the software world.
