Success story
Simon Bader
Industrial mechanic apprentice
I have been employed at Kern Microtechnik since 1996 and the company has always supported me optimally in my professional development. Being part of a high-tech company that has established itself as a market leader in its industry makes me more than proud to this day.
Stefan Budsa
Area Sales Manager Scandinavia, Sales Mechanical Engineering

Kern Success story

My career at Kern Microtechnik began in 1996 with an apprenticeship as a toolmaker in stamping and forming technology. After 3.5 years, I successfully completed my training and was also taken on directly by the company.

In the contract manufacturing plant, I was able to apply my knowledge in the milling department and was allowed to manufacture many interesting parts there. Since I was fascinated by mechanical engineering from the very beginning, I decided to continue my education in this field. I chose the technical school in Augsburg, where I completed a 2-year course of study to become a mechanical engineer, and my career at Kern continued. In the application technology department, my tasks were even more extensive and included milling tests, demonstrations, machine demos at trade fairs, worldwide commissioning and training and much more. This meant that my job was always exciting and incredibly varied.

I particularly enjoyed the direct contact with customers. Due to my diverse experience, I got another opportunity to develop within the company after 16 years in application engineering. Since 2019, I have been part of the sales team and, as Area Sales Manager, I look after the Scandinavian and Mediterranean countries.

The work is characterized by common goals and efforts; there is hardly any competition between colleagues and departments. The interaction is friendly and, above all, uncomplicated; in case of any problems, solutions and possibilities for improvement are sought. Assigning blame is an absolute no-go!
Tina Sippel
Service Manager Software Developer, Kern Precision Inc., USA
Working at Kern is attractive to me for a number of reasons. On the one hand, flexitime and the spontaneous approval of my vacation requests. On the other hand, the high level of trust placed in me by my supervisor, the fact that I am allowed to make my own decisions, dealing with people on an equal footing and always having an open ear. The whole thing gives me a feeling of: every individual is important!
Elisabeth Hirschauer
Assembly electronics, production
At Kern people meet on equal terms. That is exactly what working at Kern means to me. We treat each other with respect, there is no "me" society. In addition, Kern is a solid, financially strong company.
Gülabi Erkoc
Metrology technician, quality assurance
My work at Kern is characterized by interesting and new research topics. In the process, we often encounter problems in the optimization and new development of our machines that have received little attention in academia and industry to date. I really appreciate this challenge and the interpersonal aspect of my job.
Tim Knobloch
Strategic Development, Systems Engineer Precision

The following interview with HighTech Institute provides even more insight into his work at Kern:

https://www.hightechinstitute.nl/participant-about-thermal-effects-training/

It's quite special to work in an internationally sought-after company and to bring complex and high-precision machines to the start here. In addition, I feel comfortable interacting with my colleagues - even across departments. We usually interact in a relaxed and friendly manner and the doors are always open if there are any questions or problems.
Frank Fabricius
Microtechnik Electronics
Working for a technology leader is varied and I really enjoy it. Above all, the team spirit makes Kern unique for me. You can express your own opinion at any time in order to be able to make a joint decision. It's like a family.
Daniel Reinhardt
Area Sales Manager, Sales Contract Manufacturing
We work together, we laugh together, sometimes we suffer together - all in all, we are all on the same wavelength across departments. The appreciation as an employee is clearly noticeable to me.
Christoph Angerer
Software Developer, Operational Development
The working culture at Kern can be summed up in one term: dynamic. Change requests are analyzed, necessary changes are implemented promptly - for the better. Kern is always on the move, standing still is falling behind. In this process, everyone is important: from the employees to the management. The "Kern family" is more than just a word.
Hubert Tobies
Manager Technical Ceramics
What is special about Kern is the perfect mix of open, fun, professional and innovative people and a top product. In addition, I really enjoy being able to actively shape the success of the company through my freedom to make decisions.
