"Research and development are everything at Heraeus. We want to create things that help people advance. This is one of the ideas that inspired my team and me to develop a sensor for the steel industry that helps fill transport ladles for molten steel to the optimal level. This innovation allows our customers to increase their output considerably.
What do I like about my job? I am in contact with customers and colleagues all over the world on a daily basis. I work independently with top-of-the-line equipment, and I get to use my expertise as a developer to sell customers the high-quality products we create."
