  • I enjoy the challenge of getting to the bottom of technological issues in the cleanroom every single day. Solveig Anders

  • The working atmosphere is quite family-like, for example during the birthday breakfast gatherings.

  • My favorite moments at Supracon over the past years have of course been the 20th anniversary celebration, hiking days, and the sporting competitions and activities… Frank Wenzel

  • What I particularly enjoy about my work is the wide variety of tasks — from A to Z: wiring, assembly, component installation, procurement, and documentation. Frank Wenzel

  • From hobby to profession… after more than 26 years, I have achieved my goal. Creating something new… researching, tinkering, staying persistent with patience until it works as intended — this is one of my passions. Creativity, sensitivity, calmness, skill, organization… from research to development to the final product. Frank Wenzel

  • For me, Supracon stands for flat hierarchies, self-organization, working calmly and therefore producing high-quality results, and above all, achieving goals together as a team — from the initial idea to the finished product. Frank Wenzel

  • The best moment was when we were at the PTB with the quantum comparator and the bias electronics worked exactly as intended. The challenge of constantly learning and applying new techniques (a blessing and a curse at the same time ^^). Because you share interests and hobbies with some colleagues, and there is always someone who listens when things go wrong. Hannes Preisler (External PTB)

  • I really appreciate the pleasant working atmosphere and the great trust that is placed in us. I also enjoy my varied range of tasks and the opportunity to visit places around the world that I otherwise would probably never have seen. Stefan Bräuer
