We take CD players, computers, TVs and cell phones just as much for granted as modern cars with power steering and ABS, or hydraulic excavators on building sites. They are part of our daily lives. Complicated technology is controlled by modern electronics - and the specialist is in charge.

At Siltronic we need enthusiastic technology addicts to keep our modern high-tech production plant safe and in good shape. As process mechanics, mechatronic technicians, power electricians or process control electricians, we keep the process controls, safety systems and environmental protection systems in peak technical condition, as well as making ongoing upgrades. That's not always easy. There's a lot to learn, and you must be creative, since the plants are vast and they interact in complicated ways. But, with a measure of technical enthusiasm, readiness to learn and the stamina of an endurance athlete, it can be done. State-of-the-art training facilities help us gain an understanding of the plant, and our training staff are also good coaches.

The advanced training methods promote technical and personal skills, because keeping on top of the production processes requires teamwork, independence and initiative just as much as an understanding of the technology. Open-minded young people with a gift for science and technology are at the right address here.
